Media Net Presents Megan Cole - Web 2.0 -The online community
"Marketing with film and video online can be a powerful and useful way to promote
yourself, your work and learn and share with others in your industry.
The web today is no longer about static sites. It's a culture:
user-generated content, the fresh experience and connecting, based on
principals of freedom. Web 2.0 is a phrase that encompasses everything
that allows people to collaborate and share information online:
user-generated content, online communities, social networks, social
softwares, blogging, podcasting, videoblogging. There are many
communication tools that can be useful in increasing a web presence and
growing your online community." Come and find out what she's talking about |

In this mini workshop we will attend to the basic call to write and the creative process inherent in the art of writing—words drawn out. Materials included.
