Twitter

1.) I may continue to use Twitter. Honestly, I don't know right now. This is because I haven't used it much and am still trying to figure out if I like how it works and what it is used for. I will give it a try and possibly continue to use it.

2.)Twitter could definitely be used personally and in a career. In a personal setting, Twitter could be used to tell people where you're going or what you're doing. Like yesterday, I had an orthodontist appointment and them went to Taco Bell. I could have "Tweeted" that I was at the orthodontist and ate a 5 buck box (not at the orthodontist of course
)! In a professional setting, Twitter could be used to say many things. My chosen career was a surgeon, who could use Twitter at work. A surgeon could "Tweet" things like "prepping for surgery" to let coworkers, family, and friends to know not to try reaching him/her. Another reason a surgeon could use Twitter is to let future patients know how surgeries went before their own. For example, if I had surgery on friday and I knew that a surgery on thursday went well, I would feel much better. This could help a surgeon a lot!

3.) Businesses could use Twitter in many ways! One way would be to tell customers of advertisments, deals, and sales. For instance, The Drum Depot puts their sales on Facebook and often I consider going. If I got a "Tweet" with sales, I might go to that store. A second way Twitter could be used in a buisness setting is that when saying things like, "Just sold some lacrosse sticks to a team!" other customers may be interested and go buy similar items. A third way that Twitter could be used by buisnesses is to let workers and employees know what is going on. Things like sales, deals, and prices are things that employees need to know. Twitter could help them very much!

Digital Portfolio Project

This digital Portfolio Project helped me to learn very much! I learned about surgeons, technology in surgeons career, me, what I may need to look more into for college and a career, and how to use websites like "Weebly" and "Slideshare." What I have learned will definitely help me in the future while in school, in a career, for persoal things, and much more! I plan on using all that I am learning in the class often!

In this project, there were obvioulsy things that I did and did not like. Some things that I liked were finding out more about surgeons after taking the matchmaker tests (which I also really liked) and putting together the powerpoint! Some things that I did not like about this project were putting togther the cover letter and resume. I did not like creating the cover letter, because the things that I put in the cover letter, I have not done and don't know if I ever will. I hope to, but I felt like I was lying almost. Also, I did not like puting together the resume because I feel like the jobs I do, are good and I am glad that I have them, but listing them like I am some professional, wasn't true. I just shovel snow like everybody else: with a shovel.

When completing the inventory questions, I was true with my answers, which subsequently affected my results. I like working with people, using tools, and helping others. In my results, this was evident, because I got many jobs in the medical feild that used these skills.

The career choices that I received in my results were really cool jobs that I would be interested in after high school, however I do not know what I want to do. One of the jobs that I received on my list, which I was interested in, was a surgeon. I actually learned a lot about surgeons and their jobs! Look at my Power Point on my personal "Weebly" to find out more.
