When:   Mon Mar 12 • 6:30 pm

Where:   Clark Auditorium, Fisher Science and Academic Center

Presented by bloggers Jennifer Browdy de Hernandez and Michelle Gonzalez

In this show-and-tell presentation of some of the digital tricks of the contemporary writer’s trade, we’ll explore the impetus—both personal and professional—behind blogging, as well as the relative merits of popular platforms like Wordpress and Tumblr; the whys and wherefores of social media networking on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and other similar sites; and new directions in video logging and film clips through YouTube. If you’ve ever wondered what all the fuss with digital media is about, this is your opportunity to find out more! No experience necessary.
