Springer Realtime
I found this weeks topic to be very interesting as I have never really thought about social analytics before. I think activity 1 says it all “the eyes are watching”. It is crazy to me to think that everything we view or read online, is monitored by websites and other people.
For Activity #2 I looked at all of the sites but decided to focus on Springer Realtime. I found this site to be very interesting as you are able to track what others are downloading, and this is most likely how I would use it in education- this would be a fun way to show my students what others are downloading and reading.

Thanks for your post, Jenaca, and I’m glad you’re finding this week’s content interesting!
It’s true that the monitoring of our online practices through analytics can feel creepy. One thing I’ve really learned through discovering and experiencing how pervasive analytics is that I need to have a decent grip on it if I plan to develop my career in creating digital tools for learning.
