After the ed tech course that I took this fall semester, EME 5405, finished, I decided to keep blogging my learning and living in the new country. My intention at first was to keep me updated with new technology by blogging the articles, web-sources, or whatever that relates to technology. But after the course, my decision became kind of lost. I know it always happens unless somebody grades me. To boost my first resolution, I searched blogs to find one relating to educational technology, and I found one educator's blog in the UK- http://teaching.mrbelshaw.co.uk/
As I looked into popular blogs, I realized that they use http://www.flickr.com/ for their photos, and so does he, belshaw. So I registered in and logged in to try. I do not know yet what advantages it have compared to other photo websites. I may figure out later.

Ever since I knew the blog world in English, my personal habit in the Web has changed. I used to use Cyworld.co.kr to share my photos with my friends and family in Korea, use a blog service of naver.com, which is one of the big portal sites in Korea, and upload some photos in freechal.com community only for my father-in-law. My photos are messed up, here and there. Now I blog here, and upload my photos still in Cyworld.com or naver.com. Is it time to consolidate into one place? settle down in one place for writing and sharing? Hmmm... Don't know yet which site is perfect for me.

While local portal sites in Korea such as naver.com, daum.net, which are providing all the web services, news, blogging, photo albums or sharing, and so on, just like yahoo.com, are strong in Korea, specialized service providers, such as blogger.com for blogging, flickr.com for photo sharing, and so on, are strong or the up-to-dated trend among English users in the Internet. Is it right?
Anyway, now my web surfing is not limited to the Korean sites, but also to the English sites. Information and knowledge became more enormous than before. I am glad about that, and at the same time, feel overwhelmed.
