My Reflection

My Reflection:

What I will use in the Future:

What I will definitely be using in the future is the blogs and the useful information about social media that we have covered in this course.  With not knowing much about blogs doing the blog assignment opened my eyes to what needs to be involved when putting a blog together but other than that I will be taking things from every area covered in this course for my future.

What part of the course I liked/disliked most:

The part of the course that I enjoyed most was the final assignment, the flash mob.  I had lots of fun doing it and you were able to advertising and do whatever you want for this assignment.  It allowed us to use our creativity and show how we wanted to do our flash mob.

The section of the course I didn’t really like was the commenting on blogs, there were a lot of posts and a lot of the time I felt like I was just posting just to get the number of comments higher to get a better mark.

What did I wanted to spend more time on:

I would have actually liked to spend some time in front of a computer where we can get a little more hands on experience in the classroom

How I liked the blended learning format:

As in a lot of other courses that are incorporating the blended learning, in some areas this is very useful like for online quizzes and all of that but if there were self-readings I would often find myself not reading it or not setting a time to go onto the power points and look at it if it’s not covered in class.

My Reflection on Web Marketing

My Reflection

My experience in this course has become very positive. I have to admit that my opinion of it in the beginning was very negative. I had taken the course before and I thought I knew what was coming but instead I came into class and realized that it had been changed into almost a completely different course. I was disappointed and frustrated because everything was so different. However as the course progressed I learned so much, and enjoyed it much, much more. The flashmob really inspired me the most. Not just that it was a fun time, but really realizing how creative you can be with advertising and promotions, and then to encounter it for myself was a huge learning experience, one which I wont forget.

I have never been a huge fan of blogs, I prefer to keep my personal life off of the Internet, but I realized the potential and its possible uses for businesses to create a blog in order to help with brand awareness.  I quite honestly do believe that I will be using everything in this course in the future, from the web design aspects to customer relationship management to lead generation, and to SEO.

The part of the course I liked the most was how it was a challenging experience, which got us out of the classroom and into the world, pushing us out of our comfort zones. The part of the course that I disliked the most would probably be the blog commenting, because you had to have a lot of comments to pass this section of the project. I would have like to spend more time on customer service and support, because that’s an area that I am very interested in.

Although it took me a while to get used to the blended learning format this year, I came to really appreciate the time I was able to not always have to be at the school. In summary, I like this style of the course much better than when I took it previously, and I had a lot of fun learning experiences as well.

REFLECTION

This course provided an excellent learning experience in the subject of online marketing. Classroom experience provided an informed overview of concepts and processes and involved hands-on experience at times.  In the future, I may be able to utilize what I have learned from this course in the marketing industry in my future career. This is useful knowledge for everyone to have. I enjoyed the unique project component of this course of creating a flash mob video which was a new experience for me. I personally would like to spend more time on more hands-on experience with software such as using social media tools in class.  I am not really a fan of blended learning and prefer face-to-face classes as opposed to online lectures.

Overall, a good course experience.

What I enjoyed most about this course what all the different types of online marketing that i didnt really know about before taking this course. It was really interesting to learn how to help a company improve there existing website, and what to pay attention to more and what not to. I think in the future I would most definately look back on my these slides and try and help or improve any company i'm working for to overall improve the website or any online marketing that they engage in.  I would of loved to spend more time creating more flash mob videos I thought they were interesting, and very interactive. The only issue I had was the blended learning I found it a extremely confusing and difficuly to use. Overall I really enjoyed this course and i'm sure i'll apply what i've learned from web marketing in the near future.

reflection.

what i liked about the course was the flash mob  what i disliked was commentating on the blog. i wanted to spend more time on analyzing websites. i dislike blended learning to begin with, so i really did not enjoy the blog component. the only thing that inspired me was the history of the world wide web.

Reflection

1:- What inspired you?

Ans: Over the course i learn so many things. like the difference between paid and organic ad in my blog report. how to use Google ad-word. and the most interesting one was QR code.

2:- What do you think you will use in the future?

Ans: Further in my future i will definitively use Google ad-word, the QR code, and i will analyze my business website

3:- What part of the course you like/dislike most?

Ans: I really like the flash mob marketing in this course. and blog posting, and yes brand evaluation. which was a new way to submit our reports. the thing i don't like was commenting and reading from book. i really want some practical work e.g making a QR code for company making a website etc like just the basics.

4:- What do you want to spend more time on?

Ans: I wanted to spend more time on how to analyze a website, the brand evaluation, i really like those topics. during first brand evaluation i missed that. but the second one i went to the city kidz office. me and Marianne found how they work their objectives.i was really interested in that. and when i was finishing my 2nd part i like doing all the task.

5:-How did you like the blended learning format?

Ans: I really don't like blended learning. face to face learning is more effective and interesting. i had experience blended learning in communication course and i learned nothing in that class because learning a new thing without instructor always distract me, it was hard for me to concentrate,  so unfortunately just because of blended learning i drop my course. so i like face to face learning more than blended learning.

My Web Marketing experience was very good. I really enjoyed the material that was taught and I got a good understanding of how web marketing works. I loved learning about this and found it to be a big interest to me. This is also my first blog so it was a good experience learning how to use this just incase I need it in the future. The teacher was great and really informative on the information learned in class. I also loved the brand evaluation assignment. This was different from most assignments because we really got to break down the brand and website exactly like we learned it class. The one thing I can say I did not enjoy was the course information being all over different sites such as google docs, elearn, blogger. Overall, I really enjoyed this class and learned a lot.
