Freewriting:
Take a few minutes to reflect on what you have noticed signing up for new social media accounts for this class. Any big surprises? Here are some more specific prompts if needed: What is the difference between the kind of communication that is possible with twitter and that with instagram? How are you planning to go about finding research/evidence to convince the organization/small business that your suggestion for implementation of social media is a good idea? What are the dangers of using social media for your organization?
