A Look at Quinnipiac Assignment #15 – Reflections about ICM 522
With the end of my first Social Media class came a request for our overall impressions of how things went. Hence, I prepared Quinnipiac Assignment #15 – Reflections about ICM 522.
What Was My Best Work?
My classmates and I also showcased what we felt was our best work.
I was so very pleased that I had a few works to choose from, but I narrowed my choices down in order to save some space.
My reflections essay included comments about the video and essay portions of Module #4, Module #9, Module #10, Module #11, and my Final Project. That video is duplicated below.
Module Four was about the Ad Astra Star Trek fan fiction writing community. But Module Nine was about the Facebook page that my partner, Kim Scroggins, and I created for our ‘client’, the as-yet undiscovered Rhode Island rock band, J-Krak. Module Ten was about the creation and growth of the Twitter stream that we made for J-Krak.
And Module Eleven was all about our less than successful experiments in spreading the gospel of J-Krak to MySpace and Google+. The former was a particularly abysmal showing. At least our client’s presence on Google+ assured better placement in overall search results.
Reflections on My Life as an Older Student
The class was great fun, and I could not get enough of studying for it. I have never, ever had a course like this before. I was so into it that I could not wait to study. And I did all of the extra credit because I wanted to, and not because I necessarily needed to.
That has never, ever been my experience with a class before this one. This overwhelmingly positive experience has given me the incentive to not only finish my Social Media Certification training. But I am also rather seriously considering going on and getting my Masters’ Degree in Communications, with a concentration in Social Media.
{Which I did!}
Nine Years Later…
I regret absolutely nothing. This class was 100% a blast, I learned a lot, and I even use what I learned in real life!
