27A Reading Reflection No. 3

Book choice: The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users, Guy Kawasaki

1) What was the general theme or argument of the book?

- The general theme of the book was pretty much advice and tips on ways to perfect your social media in a sense. This aim at perfection will be used to build a professional platform which will help drive one's business.  It ranges from giving you examples of using things to do all the way to telling you exactly what not to do as that won't help you achieve your purpose. 

2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?

- It connects with what we're learning in this class because we're taught to carry ourselves professionally and brand ourselves as how we want to be perceived. This book gives enhances what we're learning by giving specific examples of things to partake in on our social media which is now a large part of our generation.  

3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?

- That exercise would involve the class to make a list of their own in terms of what activities and posts they believe are appropriate for their social media. Afterwards, we would discuss the list and evaluate the impact of every decision. 

4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?

- Honestly, my biggest surprise was the specificity of the examples that were being used. Often times, we're given advice that can't be applied to every situation but in this book, there was literally no room for interpretation. I expected it to be very baseline and sort of things that we were already aware of.
