The Last (required) Post

Hello bloggers! Well, our time in COMM 373 is coming to an end. It's the last week of class, and most of us are super ready for summer break, and hopefully some relief from COVID protocols and everything.

For your last (required) blog post, I'm going to throw out a few options just to keep things interesting. Respond to one of the following:

• In the spirit of David Letterman's famous Top 10 lists, tell me ten things that you learned or liked about this course. Be thoughtful; be creative. Include pictures where appropriate, and have fun with it!
• Now that we've made it through a whole semester, tell me: could you live without social media? Do you think our society could adapt to a life without social media? Based on your social media audit, do you think you could limit or eliminate it entirely? Support with material from class discussions, the text, and/or other readings.
• Define social media in your own words (based off of our discussions this semester). What are some of the different types of experiences users might have with different platforms? Choose two platforms to discuss and explain what their primary use is.
• Overall, choose a position and justify your agreement or disagreement with the following statement: Social media generally has a positive impact on society. Your reasons should be based on course discussion.Posts are due by end of day Friday. I hope you've enjoyed the semester and continue to learn more about what platforms are the best for your professional and personal needs!

That said, I encourage you to keep blogging either here or somewhere else. Make yourself marketable as you get ready for the future. For many of you, graduation is on the horizon. For others, you're pursuing internships. Be thoughtful of your online presence as you begin/continue on your career paths!
