Introduction
The stage of the development in technology, there is need to communicate or collaborate with people that are scattered around the world which require that the teams establish agreements as well as clear goals and roles using the social networking. The work shop is out to orient the people on the latest tools required to achieve the goals using the free or low-cost interactive web-based services that help people share information and collaborate online more easily than with earlier tools. It emphasizes the possibility for many people to share and collaborate, not just the “webmasters” or people with advanced technical skills.
The CTA workshop
This course looked at how development stakeholders can take advantage of Web 2.0 tools and applications to more effectively network, collaborate and exchange knowledge.
Web 2.0 is a term that people loosely apply to these new, easier to use web-based tools for content creation (also known as user generated content), connecting with people (also known as social networking), collaboration and many other forms of people to people interaction. These tools are often called “social media” because they go beyond content, to our connection to that content and to each other.
The social media makes it easy for us to connecting with other people via social networks; collaborating and doing things with other people; creating and sharing content; and finding, using, organizing and reusing content. These social media allow organizations and communities to maintain small group communications even when they are geographically distributed. They can also give you potential access to a massive, international audience.
Conclusion
The workshop has actually exposed me to an advance level of communicating and collaboration with other research in my area of specification that indeed will enhance my research work greatly. It is an important tool required in Agriculture to convey the result of our research findings to the end users which is the farmers.
