+Ric Dragon came to our class the other day and it helped inspired the idea of this blog along with Kratz (linked in previous blog). The source for this inspiration is partially thanks to Skype as he joined us from NY, to Duluth, MN for our class. It was a truly great experience to learn from an industry professional on what works and what doesn't.
This type of class where industry professionals are brought in to help teach the course are so much more beneficial to the students learning. After all as Ric stated, "the book is outdated" this is true for many courses. This course for sure as it is a social media marketing course and one can achieve more knowledge by reading articles online and actually playing around on the platforms. Sort of a learn as you go is a social media standard. This is due to many reasons, 1 it's so new, 2 it evolves daily, 3 new sites spring up, 4 tactics change & 5 Unlimited potential in a growing industry. Now obviously one could list more, the point is the industry is moving fast. The communications of the world have changed, user generated content is the wave of the future.
GET ON BOARD! Or sink!
As Ric stated, "what happens to the people with power in a revolution who don't change, they die!"
Thanks again Ric from coming to talk to us.
