Wow! My first attempt at blogging. After reading up on the subject of social media, specifically blogging, I'm almost feeling ashamed that I didn't check this out sooner. But, who knew? It took me a long time to even consider pursuing this advanced degree, so why should I be surprised that I haven't blogged yet?
A few weeks ago I questioned myself big time about why I was chasing higher education at this point in my life. But, I quickly realized in Grad 703 that we all need to better communicate and collaborate. I need to do that not only to see how I can enhance my professional life, but perhaps more so to see just how much I can grow personally.
Now, I've started into Grad 704 and am really looking forward to honing my skills for framing persuasive messages. This week there's so much information about blogging, social bookmarking, wikis, and more. Oh, the possibilities! My mind has been racing at the thought of what's out there that I've yet to even consider. So, I tell myself to slow down and enjoy. It's not the destination, it's the journey.
Maybe, just maybe, I'm a late bloomer. Perhaps I wasn't ready for where I'm currently headed--until now. I try not to question how I got to this place. The point is, I'm here with all of you, and it is all so very cool.

Hi, Todd!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way you do. I have never blogged before, and I'm totally excited to learn all of the social media creative outlets! Good job.
Todd,
ReplyDeleteI think many of us are in the same boat with limited knowledge or use of social media tools. Luckily, we are all in this together and so far we have a great team to help each of us throughout this program. I look forward to your future posts! Samantha
Yo Samantha,
ReplyDeleteBetter late then never! Look at it this way, you are already teaching Marketing to high school students, now you are on their side of the desk. These classes may help you to not only be a better marketing professional, but also a better teacher!! Keep it up! Your personality shines through!
