This presentation is part information management, part online persona, and part marketing. It's intended to be an overview of what 21st century graduates should be aware of in terms of online behaviors and trends.

Content used for Mathieu's presentation in Brenda's class, Spring 2012.

This semester, I have been asked to be a guest speaker in the "FASH325 Multimedia Fashion Presentations" course, one section taught by Sharron Lennon and the other by Brenda Shaffer. This post is a placeholder for materials and links related to this special appearance, that, I hope, can be of general interest to readers of this blog.

Home base for Mathieu's presentation. Slides and links.

For the last two weeks, I've been engaged in a very interesting experiment. Five faculty members from the Fashion and Apparel department have agreed to explore social media for personal productivity, professional development, curriculum redesign, and program promotion.

Thanks Mathieu for sharing the presentation with me so I can catch up with the rest of the class. It's going to be a very useful learning process. I also think your presentation to FASH 325 would be good to give to students earlier in their UD career. I was thinking about FASH 210, a course on FASH sustainability and business ethics in the Fashion Industry. These sessions will make us more sustainable!

Thanks Martha. I think you're right that students need to be exposed earlier to this, but I also think that we could chunk the session up in little parts, where I wouldn't necessarily need to be directly involved.

"No matter how much quality information or witty repartee we send out into our social networks, first impressions are almost always visual. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that the first thing we see when checking out a new Twitter follower, Facebook friend, or LinkedIn connection is a profile photo. And in a world of quick clicks and divergent attention, if the photo you present isn't eye-catching, or illustrative of your personal brand, you may miss your shot at making a positive first impression."
