This is a hands-on social media class. We will be posting online and using Twiter and Instagram during the class. The course consists of demonstrations, practical activities and discussions. One to one guidance and support will be given throughout. Each student can use a classroom computer or bring their own laptop (but not mobiles or ipads/tablets) in order to set up their social media accounts. Students need to have a social media account and feel comfortable with going online and posting to that social media account. Students who bring their own devices need to have full understanding of how to post on social media from those devices, as basic training isn’t given for this course.
**Students who wish to take the class but do not have a social media account will be welcome, but will need to look on with another student who can post online. This class will not be for setting up new accounts and teaching basic social media skills.
