Each week this semester, you will have an assigned blog topic. Some of these topics will be those that you, the students, suggest. In the comments section below, list some topics you would like to blog about.
First, some rules:
- Keep it clean!
- Be specific. For example, don’t just write dogs. What about dogs would you want to blog about? A better topic would be, why one should rescue a dog from a shelter or humane society, rather than purchasing one at a pet store.
Some examples of previous topics (and yes, we can do some of these again):
- Favorite You Tube videos
- What do you really think about reality TV?
- How is social media important in the PR Process?
- Favorite TV Show
- Pet Peeves
- What was life like before social media?
Let your imagination be free and be creative!
