PLN Reflection
The objective personal learning network somewhat prepared. From my summer internship, I did a social media audit as pro-bono work for Mason Zimbler. The non-profit organization I got to evulate was Austin Children Shelter. I think that having to narrow the project down to one specific topic is somewhat unless for the future. I did learn about other social media bookmarking tools – which I do not think I will use after this class. Usually, I bookmark websites and articles that I find most interesting on my Google Chrome account, Evernote or Pinterest. I want always want to keep up-to-date on current topics and issues. Before entering this class, I was and still am a active user on mutiple social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterst, and LinkedIn.
Later on in the future, I don’t think I’d make list on Twitter. I follow certain people and influencers that are relevant to me – so that would be fitness, food and fashion. On the other hand, I still use social media to follow those that are influencers in the ad and tech world just so I can grasp what these people are talking about and how I can learn from them. Working with a “real-world client” can always be challenging because both teams have to work in the middle and accommodating each other’s happiness. I think in this situation, working in a group and collaborating with each other is the hardiest part.
