Day 3 - DIIGO & You Tube

I dig Diigo!  I hope Diigo sticks around so I will have a repository for all of the various links I like to use in my classrooms for connecting business, management and marketing content to current events.

Now that I know how easy it is to upload a video to You Tube, I may start a new career, educational movie producer!  Check out my new little video on  5 Easy Tools - Vado Camera.

Thanks Brent and Les for a great Day 3!

Day 2 - Twittersphere!

I have been on Twitter for a few years, but have not yet gotten addicted.  I do like getting brief, focused messages and hearing from friends and colleagues about what they want to share.  I have not yet been much of a Tweeter, but might start sharing more.

Hootsuite is a hoot!  It can certainly make it easier to stay connected to multiple social media sites, which may prompt me to invest more time using them.

In the classroom I might use Twitter to set up a hashtag for a guest speaker, then have students post questions for the speaker.  I can then share the hashtag with the speaker who can address the students' questions during the presentation.  Another function I might use is a list for a class, then I can easily view all the posts from students in a class. These functions will work only if students have a Twitter account.  

Thanks Brent for helping us master more of the Twittersphere.

Mastering Twitter

Using Twitter I found #Airlines that directed me to @hawaiianair, @southwestair and @AmericanAir. I can watch Hawaiian's expansion, get informed of Southwest's launch to Hawaii and American's bankruptcy proceedings as the companies tweet about these topics.  Maybe I'll plan a vacation!
I also found #USC which led me to @USCAlumni where I can stay connected to my alma mater.

Then I searched using 'online learning' which led me to @WorldWideLearn, and found a resource where I might find an online PhD program.

Finally, I decided to check out my own college to see what Kathleen's been up to lately, and was pleased to find @LCCweb, hmm...I thought we didn't use LCC anymore.  I found postings about L'ulu, @Disney_Aulani and @nonstophonolulu, the latter of which is also followed by a few of my followers, so I decided to add @nonstophonolulu to my list.

Thanks Brent.

Management Curriculum Blogging

This might be a good tool to hit students up with current hot topics, such as how to watch the POTUS inagural speech, or a special television program on COSTCO or Coca Cola.  It also might be a good place to stress blogging etiquette.  Is there such a thing?
