Ok! I am just finishing up my 3rd month at Full Sail University. I can humbly say that I am maintaining a 4.0 and enjoying all the classes that I am taking.I have a high goal and want to graduate Magna Cum Laude. I know that no employer is going to ask me what my GPA was in college (have heard that line from MANY people) however, I want to do it for me and for my children. I want to show them that you can shoot high and obtain it. I have learned much about Web 2.0 and how it is changing the lives of so many people. I am on Twitter and follow a lot of great people that know how to explode their marketing through blogs, forums, viral videos and podcast.
It is so fasinating to me to see so many people take their dreams and live them out loud….throwing caution to the wind and embracing the moment.
I WANT THAT! I am learning so much at Full Sail however, between being a home school Mom to two children, a wife to an entrepenuer and a home maker I have to patiently wait my turn. My husband and children are my 1st priority and once I get the girls through school and myself then I can throw caution to the wind and know that my job as a mother is done and I can ….
HOLD UP! My job as a mother will NEVER “be done” however, I will have raised my children to know God and his ways and be outstanding entrepenuers that treat people with love and respect.
So what have I learned about Web 2.0 o far?
I have learned that it has everything to do with socializing (something at which I love to do) and being a voice on the web. Here is a list of a few Web 2.0 sites that I utilize:
Facebook
Facebook is not only a great place to catch up with old friends, classmates and find long lost relatives but I have witnessed first hand how it has helped people get jobs, promote their businesses and support organizations they are passionate about. This Social Networking site has been instrumental in planning events, keeping my family in contact and allowing me to become friends with other people who are interested in Internet Marketing.
Twitter
Twitter is a Free Social Networking micro-blogging site that gives you 140 characters to tell the world what you are doing. I requested that my whole family get on Twitter and when they started asking what did Follow, Follower and Update all mean my younger brother Ben replied with this:
Following = Stalker Follower = Groupies Updates = you update whether you would like to Stalk, or be a groupie. Both are respectable
There are days I sit in front of this wonderful MacBook Pro with 100′s of things I want to learn and just don’t have the time for. Sometimes I wish that in between these classes we had a month to use what we learned and really delve into it. However, the instructors only have 4 weeks to teach us the most amount pertinent information before we move on to the next classes. I have been very blessed to have the instructors that I have. They are all so friendly and very understanding. It has been an awesome experience thus far.
More to come soon! I need to really figure out how this wordpress really works.
