Social media started with the e-mail back in the early 1970's. From then it has developed encompassing a medium for people to share information and interact with each other besides using a telephone, newspaper or any other traditional means. The video below does a great job on explaining social media and its development throughout the years. Take a look!!
After watching the video you may be able to add some more services that our College utilizes. We are not limited to Facebook and Twitter but YouTube and Flickr are also part of the social media world. So with this new found information, let's explore the various social media services COSTAATT attempts to utilise. Click on the highlighted words below to check them out:

I was going to attempt to list all but their are way too many. Go on Facebook and in the search bar put in COSTAATT and you will see all the groups that exist.
- Twitter: This has so much potential.
- YouTube: Who would have thought!!
- Flickr: I thought it was used only for Graduation pictures but there is much more
You have to access this one for yourself:
- Moddle: Some of us may be more familiar with the term E-classroom which again has a lot of potential but is being under used.
Did I leave out any?
So with this new found information, is COSTAATT taking advantage of these services?
Look out next week for our next blog.
Join our Facebook group 'COSTAATT Social Media Avengers' and get in the discussions!!
Too many FB pages didn't know Costaatt had so much, the use of other social media would be nice. I do think Moodle is underutilised.....
ReplyDeleteThe pages carrying COSTAATT's logos are put up, started by the students, and other groups within, thats part of the college. This also relates to a lot of other social media tools bearing the college logo.
ReplyDeleteFor example the communication students, nursing, and Alumni are just some of the groups that have pages with the college name. These groups use the college logo to communicate, share class information, ask questions and the like, creating a support system that is beneficial to the members and even others visiting the page and groups.
Moddle is underutilised. Next week we will be posting a blog on that subject. However we would like to know why you think it is underutilized.
