I think that the most useful thing that I’ve done in this class is blogging. This is the first time that I’ve blogged and it’s an interesting form of writing. It’s taking me time to get use to the writing style. Initially I was afraid too write with my voice in a piece because, in any good news piece, you don’t let your own personal voice show but now, with some practice I’m getting use to it.
I feel that I’m doing ok in the class. It would probably help if I remembered to complete all of the assignments. Writing is my strength so knowing how to write isn’t a problem, but writing with my own voice and learning to write shortly are the two things I need to work on. I would really like to focus on writing Twitter messages. Like you said in class, it’s like writing headlines and that is something that I am not very good at.
I would like more information on how to use social media to spread a message. I know that the final project is suppose to teach us this, but since it’s a fake company, it really doesn’t matter what materials we put together and how we put it together. I would like to learn about marketing strategies and how a campaign uses all of these different medias to get a message out effectively. Also, I feel that blogging would be more effective if it wasn’t just reactions to what we did in class.
There is this website called stock.xchng, http://www.sxc.hu, which offers free, open stock photography. You have to sign up for an account with an e-mail address but overall I have found it a very useful web site for images.
