What Is Social Media?

I like this wikipedia description of social media and wanted to share it with you. I’m developing a series of automated Zen PowerPoint videos for youth participants in a YMCA Internship program. I have great content and images for the course through collaborations with colleagues but I’m very much an amateur in video and sound editing. I decided to give it a try when the idea came up. My intent is for youth participants to to become knowledgeable in using blogging platforms and social media for their job search, self employment and networking opportunities. It’s been fun working on this project. Social media offerings to our youth are I believe essential to setting them up for success long after they have completed their internship.
I’m excited to roll this out to a small group of post secondary grads soon and get their feedback. – jZ 2012.02.08
