WEEK 4 JOURNAL: PROBLEM SOLVING

WEEK 4 JOURNAL: PROBLEM SOLVING 

By Aflesi Gloria BABJ28049 

This week’s class focused mainly on the challenges students faced while  blogging and tweeting. Many of my colleagues shared the issues they had, and Madam explained each problem and helped them understand how to fix them. I personally didn’t face any difficulties with blogging or Tweeting, but it was good listening to the discussions.

My confusion was actually about social media campaigns, because I missed last week’s lecture. Madam didn’t re-explain what campaigns are, though i wasn't expecting an explanation because i already read the slide but she told us when we will start our campaigns and gave us some important guidelines. She said our campaign can be about anything, and it can be in a video form or image form, depending on what we choose. She also made it clear that we are allowed to use only one hashtag not more than one for the entire campaign, and that our page name must clearly show what our campaign is about.

Since I didn’t attend the previous class, I still felt like I was missing some background information. Because of that, I planned to talk to our assistant course rep so they can explain the concept in detail and help me catch up fully.

Overall, Week 4 was helpful, and even though I had missed out on the earlier lesson, I now understand what is expected from us. With a little extra guidance, I’ll be ready to start my campaign confidently.

New Media IA

 Name: Aflesi Gloria  Index Number: BABJ28049           I want to talk about my experience in the Introduction to New Media lectures and share with you, three things I have learnt and the impact it has had on me as well as the difference it has made to my perception about the use of new media.        On my first day of lectures, I was introduced to what the course,  New media is about. I learnt that, New Media is simply the means of communication using digital technology like the Internet. This brought about the difference between new media and media whereas media are the channels used to disseminate information. We have social media channels and online platforms for networking. This has showed me that, the Internet is not only for sharing contents and information but can give me a great chance of making new friends. Not just friends but brands and business men and women to partner with or learn from.       ...

WEEK 3 JOURNAL : Social Media Campaign

WEEK 3 JOURNAL : Social Media Campaign This week, I learned about social media campaigns and how they help businesses reach their goals. A campaign simply means working in an organized way to achieve something. In social media, it means using different platforms to support a business goal. I discovered that running a successful campaign starts with listening, finding out what people online are talking about. After that, it’s important to talk to experts and even customers to understand their experiences. I also learned that inspiration can come from many places, including innovators with fresh ideas and even non-business people who think differently. Another thing that stood out to me is that sometimes you just have to try. Start the campaign, observe what competitors are doing, and keep checking your results. It's also good to test different platforms to see what works best. Engaging the audience is very important, so I must post creative content and stay consistent. Going silent ...
