The question is does social media enhance our messaging? Yes it does. Our eyes and our hearing combine when it comes to reading and looking at messages. When you add music to things or when you listen to other people talk, sometimes you pay more attention to something than when you have to read it without those things. If you are real inventive in making a power point, you do not have to have anything added to it. Sometime if you really want to make sure you get the attention of your audience, you will add music or a voice over to it. Power points are good. Here are some links to go to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGSsodAhPgk. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK7JOprl74. I am not sure if that was O or 0 in that site.
Keynotes and Garage Bands are very good also. Here are some sites that you might want to check out. Http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUOTJRkrss. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkcQoXCDaJs. I really liked these sites and I hope that you do too. Hopefully one day I will get the hang of using Keynotes and Garage Bands myself. So I do not have to rely on sites except my on.

Following Blogs
We have been asked to follow a blog and talk about the form, function, and substance of the blog. When you write a blog, it should be something that you care about and something that you want to share with others. Have some knowledge about what you are writing about. This will help make it interesting for the reader. I have two blogs that were interesting to me. One blog address is www.doggieblog.blog.com. I like blogs so this blog sticks out to me. The last blog really stuck out to me. She talked about her dog having cancer and how the dog was doing and how she was dealing with it. She made a statement in her blog that she doesn't want to compare dogs to children, but that is how she feels. The site talks about more than that. It is not a huge site with a lot of postings, but I liked it. The writer was writing from her heart. She talks about other things than her dog being sick, but you can tell she just wanted to share information with others.
Another site that I liked is http://www.blogher.com/blogher-topics/health. I think this is a very good site for women. It has several different subjects to look at for women. Their are different writers on this site. I think that this is a site that is worth looking at. The form is good. And even when you click on the site there are different themes to look at. It is not clumped together. It is easy to read. The information is something that you might need to take a look at. These are two sites give you information and is clearly written for certain people in mind. Take a look. I liked them. I hope you do to.

Media Tools
Today it seems like things are changing so fast. The way we communicate with each other and the way that you listen to music. Even the way companies advertise is changing. With things like youtube, twitter/facebook, blogs, and other new media tools being used on a daily basis. I want to give you a couple of sites to look at.

One of the media tools that I think has changed a lot are video games. Video games have changed so much in the last 15 years. You now have games that children and adults can learn from. You have a game now that I think is great. The Wii. It is a game that can be used by anybody at any age. Families play the game together. The game has been used in assistance living facilities. It is a great game that never gets boring.
Another new media tool that I see a lot of people use is the mobile phone. You have phones now that can do almost every thing that a computer can do. You can send and check messages. You can pay bills. You can watch television shows and listen to music. You can buy things from other sites. You take and send pictures. You can make small video clips. You can check what the weather is going to be like. There is so much that you can do on mobile phones. You do not have to be tied down in one spot to get things done any more.
And now blogs. I think that blogs are another good tool to use. I never would have thought this until I had to make one myself. You can write things down or put in pictures for others to look at what you are thinking about. Or what you want others to know about. Just give them the site and they can look at it. Blogs can be just an informal way of letting people know about something that is important. These are my three media tools. Which ones are yours.
