"Blogging, Social Media Tools and Trying It Out" (9/20 class)

Thank you for a great class this week (9/20). The discussion on blogging and other tools was interesting and I am looking forward to sharing the "Role of Social Media in the Marketing Mix."

Here are the assignments for next week:

• Review your blog entry from last week based upon the writing principles we discussed in class. At the end of the entry, summarize how you improved your blog entry and what you would have done differently had you known these writing principles beforehand.
  


• Check Out Social Media Examiner and review and bookmark http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/
  • Identify the blog entry that is most interesting to you
  – Post a comment that blog entry
  – Print the blog entry
  – Prepare to share the blog entry and discuss it during our next class
  


• Try a new social media tool
  • Sign-up, test it, try it out, keep it updated
  • Write about it: what you tried, why you picked, experience
  • Use proper writing techniques
  


• Do some reading:
  • The New York Times article -- and be prepared to discuss it next week.

Also, feel free to share feedback on the class in the "comments section" of this entry.
