Blog Post: Write one final blog post to sum up your class experience for this semester.
The final week! This semester went by like a flash! I'm looking forward to having the summer off and getting myself back into shape. Sitting at this desk for 6 -10 hours a day has taken it's toll!
I feel that I have learned a tremendous amount this semester. This class in particular has opened some doors that will be extremely important for me, not only my business but with every potential business I come in contact with that will allow me to help them.
I was a little frustrated in the beginning of the class because I found it difficult to maneuver all the transitions having Mary's Facebook page under my personal account. If I had it to do over again, I would most definitely open a new email account for Mary in Gmail and run everything under her name.
To start with, I found the book, "Get Up To Speed With On Line Marketing" to be a very easy read and enjoyable as well. I know I will refer back to it often for review on certain things I'll be needing to do with setting up my business and clients social media.
All the lectures where good, although I would say that at times it was a little difficult to understand exactly what was being asked of us in the instructions under assignments. I had to dig deep and hope for the best at times. I realize this is a new class so it will only get better in that way. : )
Doing the research that was required was good. It allowed us to see what is out there for really bad design as well as good design and I realized how big the need is for people to get up to date on what can and will help them in their businesses.
This class forced me to look much closer at social media and to understand the importance of not only learning about what is current, but also how important it is to continue investing time to investigate the latest trends and techniques. The world is going so fast these day's! I hope I can keep up!
I'm very excited about my new career as a designer/developer and I can't wait to see how it will all unfold. I still have a long way to go (2-3 years?) but at the same time I can't believe how far I've come!
I would like to see another class in addition to this one... One more time through would be very helpful. Maybe a little more time forcing us on the back end of things, Google analytics and designing events and ads. Maybe that is already in the works. Anyway, great job ladies. I feel I learned a lot. Please let us know if another class is coming up.
