Hi! My name is Krystal Bouman and I am attending the U of A for Nutrition. I currently use social media as my main source for keeping on top of current events and communicating with friends and family. I'm very open minded about social media and am excited to learn to get the most from it.
ReplyDeleteHello! My name is Ann Hoang and I am a third year student in Human Ecology, majoring in Clothing and Textiles. I primarily use social media to keep up-to-date with friends or as a means of contacting them, but I am interested in learning how to use social media in a more academic and professional manner.
ReplyDeleteHello, My name is Erin Van Herk and I am in Nutrition. I think this ALES classs will be very interesting as I don't use alot of the social medias we'll be using in class. It will be a great intro to twitter and all the other medias we'll be using!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Chen Gai. I am an international student, and this is my second year in U of A. Currently, I use social media to contact with my friends, to watch videos, and to finish homework. This is an age of information, and I am glad to learn more about social media.
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Andrea Roman, i am a second year Nutrition and Food Science student. This is my first semester at the U of A and i am very excited to be here. I love the beginning of classes, it's always fun and exciting to meet new people and try to figure out your way around campus. My current use of social media is not the best, i have a facebook account that i don't check very often and now a twitter account that i am definitely checking more often. I am sure that by the end of this course my social media skills in general will improve and i am looking forward to it.

Hey there, my name is Vlatko Slocuk and I'm in Nutrition and Food Science. One of the main uses I have for social media is staying in touch with people I don't see on a regular basis and procrastination! haha. It's also a great way of organizing events since so many people use some type of socializing network. That being said I'm excited to be in a class that encourages tweeting and looking forward on learning new things.
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Angelie Thind and I'm in my third year of the Nutrition and Food Science degree. I wasn't actually sure what ALES 204 was going to be about however, after attending the first two classes I was pleasantly surprised. To my knowledge the extent of my media communications includes using hotmail, facebook, or my cellphone. Therefore, I am excited to learn about other communication forms such as blogging and twitter!
ReplyDeleteHi! My name is Kate Carlson and I am a Human Ecology student with a Textiles & Clothing major, Interiors minor. I am not very savvy when it comes to media communications, I didn't have Twitter before this class! I am on Facebook, however, and I do use Hotmail. My iPhone has made everything more convenient too! I am looking forward to learning more about other aspects of social media communication in this class.

ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Nancy Chau and I am a fourth year Nutrition student. The main social media that I use is Facebook to keep in touch with friends and have a database to share photos. My Blackberry has made communicating with family and friends back home a lot easier with the use of Blackberry messenger.
