I’m back in action here with the MWW Dialogue Digital group. I thoroughly enjoyed my internship experience last summer, and was so excited to return for more. It was really great to get involved with projects on my first day as if I had never left. While the department has made significant changes since the last time I was here, I still see many of the same faces around the office.
At the beginning of this summer, I was given an additional weekly task. During the Dialogue Digital weekly status meetings, I give a presentation about new technologies, new applications, and case studies with old technologies that I find interesting or beneficial to our team. It is my job to update the team on up and coming technologies so we can be innovative and involved with the ever-changing world of online media. Throughout the week, I compile articles from various technology blogs including Mashable and Techcrunch, as well as recommendations from team members who have heard about technologies and want to share them with the team. From this opportunity, I feel that I taught my team quite a bit, and I also have learned a lot about technologies and their utilization.
I feel that I have learned a lot about social media over the past two years. In my last blog post, I emphasized my learnings on specific platforms and broadened my knowledge base since then through creating more content, sitting in on brainstorming sessions, prepping presentations for Social Media 101, and even just from sitting in the office and engaging in conversations with my colleagues.
