Please turn in your social media plan by 13th May to my email address. I expect to receive a PPT or Keynote presentation of your findings. One or two pages is enough. Please provide your work in English, and give me website links and addresses for examples of your work (ex. if you find a blogger who is an influencer, include the website URL for the blogpost).

It was nice seeing all of you on Wednesday.  It was an interesting class, and I very much enjoyed your live-tweeting!

As a reminder, we discussed the difference between the internet and the web, the definition of Web 2.0 and how best to use Twitter for business reasons. At the end of class, everyone had a Twitter account and live-tweeted.

Welcome to Introduction to Social Media - Spring 2014

It was a pleasure meeting all of you in class last Wednesday. I hope that you all are as excited as I am about this semester's class. 


Below you'll find a few reminders of class guidelines as well as some links to the class blog and other useful references.

Class Presentation



Class guidelines

In order for the class to operate in the best conditions, a few guidelines have been put into place. Students are expected to follow them throughout the semester.

Live-tweeting

Live-tweeting is allowed during class, and ONLY for this class. Students are reminded that use of social media, mobile phones and computers must be approved by school faculty. You MUST ask your other professors if you can use social media in their classes if you want to live-tweet during another class. A professor's word is final. If they say no, then do not push the topic further. For this class, Mme. Puyau has graciously accepted to let us live-tweet. When you see her at ISCOM, remember to thank her for providing us with this opportunity.

E-mail

Students are asked to use their ISCOM e-mail accounts for this class. Please remember to check your e-mail regularly in order to find classroom updates, school news and to contact your professors.

Class Blog

Please sign up to the class blog at iscomintrosocialmedia.blogspot.fr. There you will be able to follow class news, assignments and your classmates' creations. If you already have a blog, and would like to obtain more visibility on the web, please send me your blog link and I will backlink* it on our blog.

*Remember, blogs that are only school friendly will be backlinked. Anything that does not respect school policy will be refused.

Mobile Media and Digital Video

Hi everyone! Thanks to all of you who are following this class. Last Wednesday was very productive!

In class, we talked about mobile media and digital videos. We identified the key data that can be obtained through smartphone applications, which can be great for digital marketing campaigns. We also looked at why marketing and communications teams should consider mobile media and digital videos, especially considering the growing amount of users of both types of media in France and throughout the world.
