Hello, Class!
We are a week and a half into our class and it seems like a good time to take a little pause here and check in with you as to how things are going. Each person in our Social Media class is in a different place in terms of skill level and familiarity, and so it's important that we make sure you're getting what you need. We don't have the luxury of those non-verbal communication signals, e.g., eyes glazing over when one has hit the limit to what they can take in for the moment, so we're depending on you to let us know if we're going too fast, too slow, or not explaining things enough for you. You may ask questions in the Q&A forum or if you are uncomfortable with that, you may send an in-course email. Please do keep in mind though that others may be feeling the same way you do and they would benefit from the conversation.
On another note, only three people have posted their reflection from week one so a gentle reminder that it is due by Sunday evening. There is still plenty of time--I just want you to be able to remember what you were experiencing at the end of week one.
Creating a Twitter and LinkedIn account is optional, but it would be fun to connect with you there as well. Nothing like jumping right in to get those brain synapses firing. Also, it's time to be thinking about those final projects, and Alex posted a nice piece on things to consider while contemplating what you want to do.
Beyond this, we want you to have fun with this class. Yes, there is a learning curve, and yes it can be frustrating at times, but you've already come a long way and once you build a solid foundation as to why Social Media is important and how it might work for you, then it really does become fun. We're here to help.
Happy learning!
Joanne
