Digital Frontiers

Below are the slides for the first class which offer a general overview of this course.  If you’re interested and want to learn more – we recommend starting here!

I first signed up for this class because I accidentally thought I had to take another honors class for my honors requirements, then found out that wasn’t the case.  But I kept the class anyway because the first day Adam and Nikolai certainly made the class seem intriguing.  Several weeks later, looking back, I can say that [...]

Now that this semester is coming to an end, I feel comfortable divulging my feelings about this course, the “Digital Frontier”. If you’ve kept up with my posts, you would have noticed that I lost motivation somewhere along the line. Just look at the contrast of tones from my first post, Who is Jeff Goetz? [...]

It’s amazing how much one can learn from old teacher who simply lectures you for 50 minutes on mind-numbingly boring Powerpoints. You can learn how text under your desk without looking at your keypad, or even how to draw a multitude of different crude drawings including this s-shaped phenomena.

This whole semester, I’ve been sitting in this digital marketing class that my buddy, Shaan, convinced me to take. Since I didn’t have anything else to take and I wanted to take a class that was relatively easy, I thought to myself: “Sure, why not?” So here I am, 18 weeks later and I can [...]

I was surprised with how much material we ultimately covered in the [...]

We live in a society where we stress knowledge, but spend very little time learning how to be successful. We spend nearly a quarter of our lives filling our heads with information that we could just as easily access on demand. While facts can be helpful, it is most often experience that teaches us the [...]

Wow. It’s been an entire semester, and I can’t believe this amazing class is over now. Just thinking about it makes me sad. I’m going to miss the openness of the class, from class discussions to a wide range of guest speakers, each bringing in their expertise on social media marketing and how it affects [...]

This is it. I am not long for this world; welcome to my last supper. Please grab a seat and dine. I have a few regrets and a few secrets to tell, but I want for nothing more than your audience. What can one do at a last supper besides pray, eat, laugh and cry?

After a semester of studying the use of practical use of Social Media in business, I can now say with almost certainly that your job will involve Facebook.
Now, not necessarily Facebook itself, but now that we have jumped as society into participatory marketing there will always be an element of the consumer interacting with [...]
