Create a Twitter & Facebook Account

IMPORTANT STEPS -- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:


Create a Twitter and Facebook Account.

In preparation for this course, please be sure to have a Twitter and a Facebook account ready for use in this class. Both of these key social media platforms will be used heavily throughout this course and will help you create and craft your online presence.

• Note: For Facebook and Twitter, if you already have a personal profile, that is great, but rest
assured the instructors value your privacy and will not attempt to friend or follow you at your
personal account (other than by the use of hashtags). Rather, having a Facebook and Twitter
account will enable you to participate in several communications activities. You are free to create
a new account/page for the purposes of the course that is separate from your personal and
delete them once assignments have been marked and the course is completed. If you have any
questions, please contact the instructor in advance of the course start date: Jessica Laccetti,
