I use technology tools and sites in my classroom for various
reasons for student engagement. Many
times I have found myself searching for articles, current events, or discussion
topics for countless hours. Now using the blogs that I have identified will
help me address many of the areas that are my personal interest and related to
marketing education. I plan to utilize this information to enrich the content
of my curriculum, student interaction, and personal growth.
I use online magazines and news as weekly assignments for
students to read, complete activities, and write journal statements related to
marketing. The blogs that I added are to
my RSS reader are ClickZNews, Business
Insider, and Adverblog.
I selected these specific blog sites to add to my reader because they digital marketing, e-commerce, gaming and marketing education information. The information address national and international markets which are subjects that I use and have a personal interest in.
To keep up with the various activities that emerge from
marketing such as sports and entertainment, hospitality and tourism,
entrepreneurship, e-commerce, and social media can become overwhelming with information
and changes that impacts our society. I selected the following individuals and
organizations to follow on Twitter because they will enable me to maintain
awareness of the content and industry updates in marketing.

Reflection
I have not used these tools as frequently as I could
have. The tool I am gravitated towards is
the RSS reader because I would use it on my phone and computer to read and
gather information. I could find myself
using it more daily than twitter. Once I feel comfortable about reading the
information provided on twitter I believe I will be able to understand how I
can best utilize it personally and professionally.
Right now I cannot think of anything that would help me with
my information gathering.
