Blogging In Class Is Educational
Blogging is a form of social media, and I think it would be a great idea for us to engage our class in it. Posting our views and commenting on others’ views is educational.
In my opinion, many businesses in the private sector are increasingly using social media. Given the nature of their work, I think public companies aren't there yet.
This post is an edited version of a previous post entitled Assignment 1. I'm very thankful to my professor for the lesson on how to write well a blog.
I changed the blog title - hope its catching now. And I cut the body down to two paragraphs of two lines each.
As you might notice, I even inserted an image below the title just so to catch your attention. What do you think?

Abaya,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your posting. Glad that you like the idea of blogging as part of our class. And that it would be inconceivable for us to not have one!
In your opinion, what businesses are living up to the expectation? Which businesses are you disappointed with?
A few suggestions:
1. Headline: You will want a headline that is grabbing for the reader.
2. In "Writing for Digital Media," it suggests that paragraphs should have 1 thought and no more than 1-2 sentences. Shorter paragraphs make it easier to read.
Thank you!

Abaya,
ReplyDeleteThank you. This is a great blog posting and it is clear that you applied your writing learnings from class/reading.
What is giving you the impression that private companies are doing a better job than public companies with social media? Who is doing a good job and who do you want to see more from?
Thank you,
Perri
