ABSTRACT:
This round table examines social media platform habits, multi-media technology and the vital role these vehicles will play in converting the current use of advertising media in the Virgin Islands.
The purpose of this project is to demonstrate how new media technology behaviors affect communication skills. The discussion will also include the methods in which social media and related technology are effecting change based on the current ways people learn and share information. To achieve this goal, multimedia elements such as video, infographics and text are used. I will also be using research-based experiences throughout my role as a UVI Cooperative Extension Communications Agent and WUVI Station Manager/Social Media Manager, as well as training in the New Media Journalism Masters program at Full Sail University.
The goal is to create a powerful media network by providing evidence that a thoughtful collaborative effort of creating a viable communication network is needed at the University and throughout the Virgin Islands community.
In addition to presenting, I also designed and produced the promotional media including the event flyer, audio and video. I’ll attempt to record my presentation, if possible for sharing social media tips and motivating collaboration. #iTeachSocialMedia
