Andi Narvaez: Re-learning PR

Join me here, as I live blog the Fourth Annual “Innovations in Teaching and Learning” Conference at University of Maryland. I’ll be live blogging and tweeting as often as I can with the #ITL_UMD and #SMCEDU hashtags. This is my first live blogging experience so please bear with me. I hope you can participate with your comments and tweets! Below is a little information about the conference but you can click here to learn more and view the program. See you all in a few hours!

I spent a few days of my COM 107 class talking to my students about social media. My point was to help them see the light and encourage them to get involved in the social media space because, let’s face it, we’re not ahead of the curve anymore. To illustrate, Mashable and TechCrunch are mashing and crunching up dozens of new blog posts on a daily basis, which — correct me if I’m wrong — means we are all technically dropping the ball and having to pick it back up constantly.
