Chapter 5 Summary and Relation to my future career!
Chapter five talks about the tools you can use online to either organize web-pages you have been too and like to use. This would be known as bookmarking or tagging. With web-pages to help like www.delicious.com which does not seem to be a web-page for this anymore would allow you to
"bookmark and tagging websites" (The Connected Educator pg 75). It also explains tools for connecting and collaborating with others. Some of the more popular sites that are mentioned are Twitter, google docs, and wikis which we all use a lot for research but all teachers despise. It also mentions Podcast which in today's day and age we use Spotify for this or Youtube.
Also, if I was to relate this to my future career it would be to connect with my patients. I would use things like twitter specifically for business and I also think it would be neat to have a podcast where I can talk about patients' problems, with or without their name depending on if I get permission, about what their problem was and the cause of it. I would then go into how to either help fix the problem or make sure the problem does not happen to you. My Orthodontist uses his phone to play Spotify music for background sound and to relax his patients. Make them feel at home and I would probably do the same thing. Also, because it helps me focus and stay relaxed. Would it be weird to contact your Orthodontist through twitter to make appointments or ask questions? Let me know in the comments!

Chapter 6 Summary into my career
Chapter six talks about how to get connected with your community via the internet. It goes in-depth with how to make yourself well known which was by making a "consistent username across all networks"(pg 93). It also wants you to choose someone as a mentor to help. It also wants you to choose specifically who to follow and get in touch with people who have similar interests. In the end, it just wants you to engage with the community as much as possible. Make yourself known.
If I was to correlate this to my future career I would follow after my Orthodontist. He has made himself known by being on billboards and speaking on the radio. However, this only works in your local area but it still makes him known by the community. which I will eventually do because I want to be the best Orthodontist. I would most likely create my own webpage instead of using social media because it needs to be professional. I would also make sure that where ever it is that I am working I would pass out business cards to people just as another way to spread the name. Currently, I have been asked about social media and said that I will create one for business use and that is something that I would do if need be.
