Create Using Social Media

Facebook is now among the top three most visited sites in the world, which means people are now turning to social networks for news before they hit Yahoo, Google or other sites. Social networking sites have changed the ways we communicate and do business. However, Web 2.0 platforms were not only built for marketing and business. They were built for sharing and creating. This course will focus on how to leverage platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Flickr to create dialogue around your work, support your research, and build community. Many artists, non-profits and businesses are using these online publishing platforms to share their mission, values and process.

In this workshop, we'll look at a few case studies and use our time together to build specific online projects to support your work. We will also take time to look at specific features of social networks, which will help you build community and dialogue around your work.
