Summer Reflection

At the beginning of this course I was extremely worried, since I am not the best at navigating through social media platforms other than Facebook.  I also didn't know if my computer skills would become stronger since I have always found it difficult to navigate.  However, it didn't take long for me to feel comfortable with the direct guidance we have had since day one.


I expected to learn about the various social media platforms available.  I was not sure what all would entail in each site, which worried me.  I knew that we would make a page for a business we create so that was always clear in our plan and expected. 


I learned that there are far more social media platforms out there than just the most common such as Facebook and Twitter.  There were some sites I have never heard of that I may utilize in my future career.  I also learned how to appropriately and successfully use different social media sites to best represent not only my business, but myself. 


My favorite experience in this course was the blog posts that we did on a weekly basis.  I enjoyed the challenge of the different themes we had to incorporate into our postings.  I strongly believe it helped improve my creativity and engagement skills which is crucial in the marketing field.
