This class reiterated to me the pros and cons of social media and why it is a wonderful tool or platform for both individually and professionally. I gained confidence during this class especially after our classroom discussions of what not to do! Overall, I have enjoyed this class! Our discussions were in depth and useful to everyday life. My social media of choice.

The assignments in this class were really simple. Yet, without a purpose, they are hard to complete. Unfortunately, I missed several of the required tweets. While I clearly see the benefits of regularly participating in social media, I struggle to find something in my world that I think would be relevant in everyone elses. I have lots of aspirations that social media will eventually help me succeed. I may have to hire or recruit someone to help me.

Using social media sites like Twitter can keep me up to date on important laws and legislation in the health care industry. I can also receive information from organizations who promote continued education and workshops to enhance my skills. There are a variety of groups which I can join to seek advice, mentoring, or general discussions about my profession. Twitterfeed helps get your words out! July 21, 2013.

The video below, A Day in the Life of Social Media, was posted in 2010, but it is a quick idea of powerful and influential nature of social media. Though I would never drink the real sugary nonsense.

From the mind of Nancy DeConcini. Emerging From My Cocoon into the World of Social Media. Why was I so resistant? What was I afraid of? I reflect that I had developed a negative attitude toward social media. The truth is for the most part we can be responsible and take control of what we put out and take from the Internet. Social Media for Career Development.
