Introduction to Social Media Class April 12, 2012

"Social media" is a phrase commonly used these days. But, do you know what the concept really means? This class will explore and discuss social media and some key terms used in the field (e.g. 'engagement', 'bookmarking', 'connections', 'networking'. . .). We will also answer some of the most pressing questions beginners may have, such as: Where do I start? What do I do? How much will it cost me? Can I "do" social media on my own or do I need to hire someone to take care of it for me? What are some common mistakes that I should avoid? What are the benefits of social media? What to bring? Laptop computer / tablet, notebook, pen. No prior knowledge of social media required. Cost: $36 for one class which includes a continental breakfast from Prairie Ink Restaurant & Bakery.
