Dr. Chris' father-in-law passed away, but he still made an effort to come to class and make sure we were clear about everything happening for our field trip to the Federal Women's Council event in Columbia, Maryland next week. I think that really shows that he is a great professor who is dedicated to his students. Dr. Chris came to class an hour late, but communicated this to us one hour before the normal class start time via the class Facebook page. Not only did this allow for students to respond and ask for clarification, but it allowed Dr. Chris to tell everyone with the click of one button when exactly he was on his way to us. So convenient!
Class was extremely brief since he had to get back to the funeral home, but in the 45 minutes we spent together, we were extremely constructive. We posted directions to the Statebridge Suites and discussed the most efficient way to get there; Team Worldwide discussed how each of us would get there and who would drive. Dr. Chris even told us about the food we would be served at the event (chicken and rice - yum!), what we should wear (come as close to a business suit as possible), and our duties in live tweeting and recording everything that will be happening around us. Our blog post for next week will encompass all that we saw and heard. We need to include five pictures, three sounds, and three videos in our post in order to get an A for the exam grade. I'm sure it will be, but I hope the event is organized so that getting all of these materials will be as easy as possible. If I am unable to, Team Worldwide will work together to get it done! Here is Dr. Chris explaining everything that should and will happen next Thursday evening:
Speaking of Team Worldwide, we also discussed a team image in class, chose one, and posted it on the Facebook page. It is pretty cool if you ask me, here it is:
(Team WorldWide, 2012)And I found this song entitled "WorldWide" by Big Time Rush. Could this be our theme song? I'll have to ask the team to vote next week. I think it is a little too lovey-dovey, but you never know!

On a different note, I'll be sure to tune into the Grammy awards this Sunday night! These are the types of events that make social media thrive and explode. Will you be tweeting your reactions? I will!
