This past saturday I participated in a social media boot camp with my WOM class.  I have to say that I had social media anxiety prior to attending the event.  As soon as I got there I was assigned the task of taking videos of educators, students, and Edelman faculty.  Doing this wasn’t so bad.  It wasn’t unitl I was notified that I would have to upload the videos onto Youtube that I started feeling my heart race.  Once I got some instructions on exactly what to do I felt like I could sit there and do it all day.  Not only did I have a chance to upload videos, but I also got to post the links onto twitter.  Attending the bootcamp was an awesome experince for a person like me who doesn’t really get into technology.  I found that getting my hands dirty and jumping right into it is the best form of education.  I really enjoy social media now and don’t mind throwing out a few tweets every now and then.  Who knows maybe one day i’ll turn into a social media junkie…
