Week 15: Final Thoughts

As someone who knew they were never going to be done with learning, but pretty wrapped up with education in the formal setting, I took this class to get a better feel for Social Media outside of the funny pictures and shark cat video locators. 

I knew there was a world behind Facebook; that there was a reason why a particular company keeps popping up in my feed. I knew, but now I know I didn't know. Through this class, I was able to explore platforms that I normally would not gravitate towards for personal use. I learned that I actually do like to write and keep a blog. I learned that this is something I actually want to pursue because I like being social. 

I have been given an opportunity to work with a non profit on their social media strategy and to help promote a fundraising event. I am looking forward to using these new tools I have acquired in this class and throughout the semester achieving this Certificate in Social Media for Business to not only fuel a passion, but do something I feel that I am good at. I have made some great connections and friends and while this semester proved to be tough, thanks to a little guy who likes to "help out" while Mommy is trying to get homework done, I have learned a great deal about myself and how I want to take on the world of Social Media, both as a behind the scenes operator and now a more educated consumer. 

Thank you for this opportunity!
