We have been learning social network for around four weeks now.
In the first three weeks, we get to understand social network
gradually. We define social network and realize that social network is not
simply a communication platform. It contains so much information that it has
much function including social computing etc for instance. We have various
social experiences when we are in different social networks acting as different
roles. Knowledge about memory as well as cognition is new to me to some degree when
they are used in social network.
I got some new knowledge about the genre of the social network
during the learning. I thought that only the Facebook, Twitter, Renren, Weibo
and that kind are social network. I didn’t realize recruitment websites or witkey
websites are also social networks. And I would like to recommend some useful
websites here since we all prepare to work now.
http://www.zhubajie.com/ is
my favorite witkey website in Chinese mainland. And we also have http://www.witkeysky.com/html/index.html
, http://www.taskcn.com/ and http://www.vikecn.com/ etc.
And we can not only find jobs in the Career Planning and Development
Centre of our school. http://jijis.org.hk
and http://www.jiujik.com/jshome_b5.html
are also the local websites to find jobs in Hongkong. This information is what
I would like to share.
Besides, information flood in this era, what and how can we select
to read and accept is the most important issue that I concern. And how can we
pick out the right information for our decisions to base since there is so much
in the social network.
The answer is about the cognition in my opinion. We should collect
data, come up with the information and form our knowledge basing on the
information we get.
Epistemic cognition is the third level of cognition which can solve
this question to some degree. It is also the highest level that led to
construction of new knowledge. People share with or learn from the others to
produce new knowledge. It is also a process to convince oneself. Epistemic
cognition is built on the true beliefs and former knowledge of individuals.
After making sure the certainty and sources of knowledge, people start to do
analysis and justifications. After this process, they get their own new
knowledge. They choose the information and knowledge they trust and make the
final decision. They will surely not accept all what they have received. So we
should keep thinking while reading especially when we are surfing in the social
networks.
If you has any thoughts about this blog, I welcome you to give me more different ideas and information.
