Versal is an online website that allows people to take online courses. On Versal people can take courses for education, and courses for business. This week, the Burlington Help Desk took a Versal course on Twitter for College Admissions and Job Seekers created by Alan Katzman. Alan Katzman is the the founder of the company Social Assurity. This course specialized in the social media app Twitter. I learned many new things from this course, even though I am a frequent Twitter user.
The Twitter for College Admissions and Job Seekers created by Alan Katzman, was a great course in my eyes. I learned many interesting facts, and learned them in a fun and interactive way. The material of the course was taught over videos, voice recordings, pictures, games and mini quizzes. Due to the material being interactive and colorful I had a very fun time taking this course. I was engulfed in the subject and connected to the subject more than I would have if I took a course out of a textbook. I feel that online courses are the future, and textbooks will be a thing of the past. I also feel that if real life classes used courses like this one students would be more interested in the course and have more enthusiasm to learn.
From the course I found many interesting facts and points. I learned many little points on Twitter such as basic account information, creating a presence, engaging and interacting, and proper etiquette and tools. For basic Twitter account information I learned how to set up a profile, the components of a tweet, and Twitter lingo. For creating a presence on Twitter I learned how to create a network, such as who to follow and how to get people to follow you back.The best way for people to follow you back is to have a detailed bio about yourself, because it is the first thing they see and is sometimes a deciding factor if that person follows you or not. In engaging and interacting I learned how to engage in the Twitter environment, and how to interact with other Tweeters, such as replying to tweets. The final things I learned were from proper etiquette and tools. From this section I learned how to present myself professionally on Twitter, and work the tools of Twitter such as TweetDeck and a Twitter chat. Overall I found this course to be very helpful and interesting. I would surely recommend this to my peers and even to teachers, because technology is becoming apart of everyones life.
