Educating on the Web

Today was all about education on KOMU.com. I helped the convergence student put up a slideshow. Thankfully, last week I figured out how to post one myself so I could help him. My teacher Jen told me on slideshows it's better to have discriptions for the pictures, which helps tell the story. I was happy to help pass on the information. Knowledge is power.



I also educated one very important KOMUer on Facebook. I'm proud to say Angie Bailey is now on the fabulous networking site. We went over the basics of friending, notifications, the wall, comments, photos, etc. My next conquest will be to get the rest of the KOMU anchors on Twitter. Speaking of Twitter...


I have come to love Twitter. It is so much fun to update my staus and catch up on the mini-events in people's lives. I find on Monday, I update it constantly... Tuesday has less frequent updates and by the time Wednesday rolls around, I'm down to one or two a day. Hopefully, I can keep the participation up. I'm learning the @replies business and the RT capabilities. I wish there was a tweet-to-tweet function. Like wall-to-wall on facebook. Sometimes I want to look at the conversation's I've had with other people. Hopefully, they'll figure it out soon... or maybe I will...

EDIT -- The search capability on KOMU.com is struggling, and so I can't find the story I helped with. Now that I mention it... I couldn't find one of my stories last week. I want to make our content more searchable and easy to find on our website.

PROJECT UPDATE -- I have not met with Matt Thompson yet on our Columbia growth project. For some reason, I am very booked up this semester. We're working together to find a common time so at least Matt, Jill and I can meet.
