Final Assessment
Every new dawn brings a fresh chance, it brings new hope; it sheds new light on old problems. For me, this module brought me new light and enlightenment on the power of the web, connectivity and the importance of filtering data before uploading infromation on social media as well as how much a digital profile could actually help me with securing my future employers and opportunities.
I have learnt that the web is powerful, and there is so much that we can do with it, limitless opportunities to explore and to be discovered. I realised that it has so much that i can learnt from using social media such as twitter. After this module, I started keeping a lookout on the various marketing related resources, for example, emarketer,newscred and solomolT(Digital Marketing), providing informative news and facts that will benefit marketing associates as well as important and relevant tips that would help marketing undergraduates like myself to realise there is so much more that can be learn in the digital marketing world.
It was fruitful as I felt I have become so much more knowledgeble with regards of what I can do with the web. “Even in a bad situation, there’s always a positive side..”-Susane Colasanti. We have heard all the bad side of the web, however we can use it to our advantage by building our personal brand using the various social media platforms for instance LinkedIn, Facebook, twitter, instagram etc and create our own digital profile. Personally, I reliased after module, I have been using LinkedIn much more as I realised it’s potential of helping me established a professional image, also, it would be the channel whereby I would have my professional network as well as communications.
After being tasked to do countless of research, I realised the importance to credit and reference my information. Like those publishers, seeing their work being plagarised as the work of others(Trying to put myself in their shoes), how disheartening would that be? Hence, I have learnt that this double edged sword called the web, has its positive and negative effects ,it could be a blessing and a disaster.
I believe this module has successfully brought my digital presence to another level, bringing to light my digital profile, very own social CV as well as my resume video. Seeing all those innovative and creative attention capturing videos truly inspired me to make one of my own.
A start of an end is a new beginning, let us press on and run this race together!
Cheers,
Amanda
