First Day of Multimedia Class

The first multimedia class was exciting! A lot of things happened because we all worked to set up our social media accounts -- Facebook, Google+, Gmail, and Blogger. I am very familiar with Facebook and Gmail, but have never used Google+ or blogged before, nor have I ever used a YouTube account, though I have used YouTube before. The class seems like it will be very fast-paced, but I think I am really going to learn a lot about how to make the most of this social media world. This will be a really great skill to have as I begin to search for a job this semester.
It's going to be really great to work in a small group to get things done. We helped each other set up all our accounts today since some of us were more knowledgeable in certain areas than others. Dr. Chris seems like he is really going to make EVERYTHING extremely interactive and fun. We are going to have class online, have field trips with live blogging, and even have show-and-tell days! I must admit, the atmosphere of the class is not what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised. I do hope that Dr. Chris gives us a little more guidance with these new social media tools next week as we really begin to dive into everything. He says in three weeks we will be expert users - I sure hope he is right!
Once i feel comfortable, I really think I am going to surprise myself and learn so so much. I can't wait to see what this semester brings. It seems like I will be surprised at every turn.
Here is a picture of Dr. Chris is action... I think I need to find out where he gets all his energy!!
