Rushed to the dentist this morning for a huge pain in my jaw. Turns out I have a huge abscess infection and I had a tooth with decay all the way to the nerve. Needless to say I started the day expecting a quick appointment, ended it with a new crown, painkillers and antibiotics.

Another thing I learned from this class is engaging with friends online. Building a community of people you know can help boost engagement between different circles, and supporting your peers can help initiate that group. Networking is crucial. #com317media #pinestreetstories

One thing I learned as a side effect of this class is time management. In between running multiple accounts SEO, and communicating with clients for freelance/contract shoots, the various social assignments helped me to maximize my time online. #com317media #pinestreetstories

Another thing I learned from this class is the importance of engagement with your audience. Growth takes time, and is driven by engagement. Being more connected with your audience can substantially increase your exposure to more followers. #com317media #pinestreetstories

One thing I learned from this class is the professional protocol for holding a livestream. I have since gone on to host many livestreams on both Tik Tok and Instagram (almost daily!) thanks to this assignment. #pinestreetstories #com317media

Another thing I have gleaned from this class is the importance of having a unified brand front. Making sure your materials all look the same helps to create a more professional look and feel. Professionalism comes in many shapes and forms #com317media #pinestreetstories

In this class, I learned the importance of having a professional looking presence online. This helps everyone from your family, to potential employers see that you take things seriously and are willing to work hard. #com317media #pinestreetstories

Instagram TV is a great emerging platform. The platform provides a place for people to upload longer form vertical video content much like snapchat, but in a format more similar to that of YouTube. #com317media #pinestreetstories

One form of emerging media that is catching on even more is Reddit. The platform is no longer just a place for internet enthusiasts, but every category alike. If you can think of a hobby, topic, or place, the odds are there's a subreddit for it. #com317media #pinestreetstories

Popular forms of emerging media are everywhere. One such platform is Instagram Reels. Essentially a carbon copy of TikTok users upload up to 30 second "reels" to the platform. Much like the namesake it's based on, most reels are re-uploaded TikToks #com317media #Pinestreetstories

A popular platform for emerging media right now is Spotify. Spotify has been purchasing several popular content creators such as @joerogan . They have been congregating several news, talk show, and entertainment personalities onto one platform. #com317media #pinestreetstories

another great form of emerging media is Snapchat. So many shows and interactive content/news update options coming to the platform, snapchat offers a great place for users to congregate around the premise of quick connections and vertical video #com317media #pinestreetstories

One great form, of emerging media is the TikTok platform which allows users to create simple, yet engaging content with their users. Their platform provides a large opportunity for views and engagement with users through comments, and replies. #com317media #pinestreetstories

If you're looking for more visually entertaining tech-related coverage, @verge has great tech reviews. They're similar to Marques Brownlee, but more corporate and spread out. I usually watch both of these sources before making buying decisions. #com317media #Pinestreetstories

If you're looking for quality technology journalism, @MKBHD is hard to beat. Marques is the benchmark of quality standards for tech-related coverage on YouTube. I've been a huge fan of his for many years and it motivates me to do better on YouTube. #com317media #pinestreetstories

If you're looking to follow an account for PR, and @Tiktok and @Arbys Their social media team is pure genius with the TikTok TV trend that's going on right now. Their sense of humor is impeccable. #COM317media #pinestreetstories

If you're looking for quality journalism, follow the folks at @BBCworld . they provide an outside perspective of events occurring in the United States, which allows more to be understood on the subject objectively. #com317media #pinestreetstories

A great resource for journalistic updates used to be RSS feeds. They served as (and mostly continue to serve) as a means of integrating and reaching more individuals with news headlines and updates in the lines of websites, blogs, and more. #com317media #pinestreetstories

Looking for a great way to share events as they happen? try livestreaming! @instagram provides a great means of streaming the content in front of you. This allows people to be present remotely in events as they happen, and creates more witnesses. #com317media #pinestreetstories
