Some Tips For The Upcoming Class Meeting

Hello Gang!

I hope that everyone has been doing well. I see that some of you have been working on including your pictures. That is great! If you haven't done so already, please do upload a picture of yourself into the profile set up. I recommend that you use the same picture on all of your profile accounts (FB, Twitter, Blog, Communities). Consistency helps build brand recognition. If you HATE using your real picture, you can use an avatar. There are a lot of websites that will help you design a custom avatar, my personal favorite is http://faceyourmanga.com/ (Yes it is free! It is also very easy to use which is why I like it)

This is my manga avatar that my husband made up for me once.

Hee-hee, this always makes me laugh, do you see the resemblance? He was being nice, not making one that is wearing thick glasses, a sloppy pony tail and a sweatshirt which is what I usually wear! (Please refrain from making any mean comments that might hurt my feelings.) Anyway, have fun playing around with it, but don't waste so much time that you don't get your work done!

Oh yeah, I'm still waiting for the official confirmation that we were able to move classrooms so be sure to check the board in the lobby for the right classroom.  While I will have enough seats for everyone, you can also bring your own laptop if you prefer as you won't be able to save anything on the lab computers. 

It's an exciting time with so much changing on Social Media sites! Looking forward to seeing everyone next week.

Thanks!

PS. If you ever have a private question or concern please email me.

Welcome to Social Media Marketing

Hello class!

I want to welcome you to Social Media Marketing Fall 2012.  Social media is really becoming a mainstream part of our lives and it is important for you as business professionals to both understand it, and to leverage it.  Do remember that although we have fun, we must still work hard, we will have quizzes and homework assignments so I will be keeping you busy.  Everything will be done online so you must have reliable access to the internet you should also bring with you a "thumb" drive to save any work, as the lab computers do not allow you to save anything.

It is important for you to purchase and have the required text as soon as possible.  The text, The Social Media Bible, is readily available online and as an eBook.
 
As always, please don't hesitate to ask questions.  In fact, I encourage you to communicate with me as much as possible and express any concerns right away.  The best way to reach me out of class is by email jenn.guignard@gmail.com but you can find all of my contact information on the syllabus.
 
Again, I'm looking forward to meeting each of you and to a great class!
Thanks
Jeannette
