"Our ancestors sailed across a vast ocean, one third of the earth's surface, and to accomplish this great feat they needed the vision to see islands over the horizon, the ability to plan intentional voyages of discovery, the discipline to train physically and mentally, the courage to take risks, and a deep sense of aloha to bind the crew together during the voyage.

Future Trends: Exploring Social Media
Posted: April 04, 2008
Video: Running time: 47:09.
The Public Relations Advisory Council presents Future Trends: Exploring Social Media, a forum with students in a [University of Florida, College of Journalism and Communications] Principles of Public Relations class.
Panelists: Joe Curley, APR, Stingray Solutions, Inc. (moderator); Karen M.

What’s really cool about this presentation is that it’s generated from a classroom base. With video and our current web technology, a classroom activity can quickly and easily become a universal learning experience. Re the topic, implications for colleges become obvious when you substitute “colleges” for “corporations” in the presentations. The handwriting on the wall is pretty clear — if we want to sell our campuses, to generate buzz about who we are, we need to quickly get into social networking.
