Post 1 - Introduce Yourself

I'm Stephanie.  As a Mature Age Student (!!) with 2 primary school aged munchkins (Yr 2 and Yr 6) I've taken my time, completing the Diploma part-time over 2.5 years.  I've loved learning again, free from the constraints of full-time employment, school lunches and other drudgery... Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and this is my last semester.

Social media has never been my bag - I've always subscribed to theory of the educated reviewer - think the SMH and The Australian columns of last century - and their capacity to generate informed and considered debate.  I'm not a fan of the free-for-all Twitter and the like where the unmediated debate quickly turns ugly and unleashes ...

However, I do recognise the value of social media to corporations and organisations and the marketing/engagement opportunities it creates.  I am determined to keep an open mind through this course, so maybe Gary, you will generate a social media butterfly...

And, if not, at least I should be employable at the end of it all!
