Social Media Consultation: NFL in Action

NFL players, and those in the other major pro sports, are learning that the impersonal fans of old are morphing into the we-take-it-personal fans of today when it comes to Twitter, Facebook and other forms of social media. Twitter allows each player to hold his own national forum each day, without reporters or microphones, creating a bond that never existed before between athlete and fan, participant and spectator. For instance, many of Maurkice Pouncey's 135,000 followers on Twitter feel a special kinship to the three-time Pro Bowl center because he often tweets a dozen times or more per day, creating the impression of a one-on-one relationship. Pouncey also gives away prizes at random. And some of Ike Taylor's 119,000 followers likely were drawn to him because of the inspirational messages he relays each day.

The Eagles, for example, review the Twitter and Facebook pages of all prospective draft picks, if only to gauge a player's personality and detect possible trouble. Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert discourages but doesn't ban players from tweeting — more than 70 Steelers players do — but asks them to be professional and courteous. Tomlin unexpectedly jumped on the Twitter bandwagon last month, saying he wanted to give his players a social media role model.

Charley Casserly, a former general manager of the Redskins and Texans, would dislike his players being equipped with such a potentially troublesome tool. Still, with more than 1,000 NFL players on Twitter, it's becoming more difficult for teams to put the social media genie back into the bottle. “When I've given talks to teams about how to handle the media, I tell them social media is like having a national press conference: Everyone has access to it,” said Casserly, an NFL Network analyst. “When you go for a national press conference, you're composed, you've thought out what you're going to say, you're in a reserved mood and careful. On Twitter, some things will come out that shouldn't be out there. And there's a level of mental toughness that you have to have to be on Twitter because anybody can access you, anybody can say anything to you. How does that affect you?” On Twitter or Facebook, blocking an individual prevents them from accessing that account. Some players stick to the basics, with benign comments and go-team messages. Others are apt to discuss anything that's on their mind. That's why some teams tell their players to remember that the first four letters in Twitter are twit — and not to be one when they post a message that can be read by a potential audience of 500 million.

Group Progress Report 2

What role is each group member assigned to in the group?

Tajmina Aakhi

Tajmina is responsible for the introduction of this whole presentation. She is going to be announcing exactly what we are all going to talk about throughout the entire discussion. She is also responsible for the interactive video that will support the statements made by the group members.

Sajid Ali:

 So after discussing with the group we decided to switch the responsibilities of the individuals in the group therefore, Tajmina has decided to introduce the topic while Sajid will try to find whether or not online education is actually beneficial or just a waste of time depending on the research.

Hamza Malik Tariq:

He is responsible for the pros, and cons of online education. He will try to find what may be beneficial for people who are interested in online education. On the other hand, how online education could be a setback and may not help an individual at all when he/she finally decides to learn in a classroom.

 

Specific research:

Many people have tried to go through online education to get their degree but we want to find out if they have been successful in actually getting that degree. Some questions in mind are the level of difficulty compared to what a person learns in school and if the intellect one receives from actually having a face to face interaction and what somebody learns just by reading online. Our motive is to research and find as much information as we can which is true about the topic and not out dated or false. It's very important for people to understand if online education is right for them and if the level of education is as great as what one gets to learn in class. We will also talk to people who have taken their education online and hear how it has benefited them or effected them after they have transitioned into a real classroom environment.

 

Sources:

We will try to find information online from sources like UHD libraries and Hcc database including other online websites. Also we will look for books which have a connection with the topic at hand which is online education. Newspapers/Magazines which almost always have data regarding online education.

Blog Assignment 7

http://techcrunch.com/2009/01/28/the-privacy-dilemma/
How privacy is important in our life. How we not aware of what are privacy it can hurt us. Now in day we have so much social media. We really don't know what are privacy set as. Most of time we publish things online and don't know what are privacy settings are. World is not full of nice people and they have people who want to hurt and use your ssn and other things to take your identity. In the article above it shows how we have so many social accounts and we don't be aware of how we are posting things that can harm us. so it just saying that be careful on how you use your personal information and dont give it to everybody,

my privcay setting

first of i want to tell which type of social media i have. first i want to talk about Facebook in Facebook my privacy settings are very limited. I only want my friends to see what i post so i put it to friends only. Next is my instagram account on their my privacy is not limited. mostly everybody can see my pictures. I put it to like that because i'm a guy and i don't put  pictures that can harm or effect me later in life. I watch over myself and when i know something is getting out of hand i would change its settings. The next up is my Google account which you got my really careful of. That is because if you post a picture and which is not private Google can put it on internet and anybody who search up your name can see your profile and everything about you. I don't want the world to see me or search me up. The next i have is my yahoo mail. i mostly don't use it that much but i made sure that not a lot of people can have my email. I don't want people to send me random emails and mostly dirty emails. Those type of things can hurt you in the future. what if someone used my email to put up some type of video or photo and it harm me. Its very important to make sure what are your privacy setting are. Something strangers would want to harm you by your name and identity.

hamza malik group work

What role is each group member assigned to in the group?

In order to ensure success, all group members must be given equal power and authority to both write and modify the project. Each individual in the group should assume the same level of responsibility for the entire project. Our topic is "Online Education" where I'm responsible for the introduction of this subject. Sajid will represent some of the pros and cons of online education. Hamza has to do the media job. He has to look for a video where we it discuss about our topic and we can summarize our opinion about it. Two minds are better than one. we resist the temptation to immediately divide the project into sections and have each person( sajid & hamza) be responsible for one portion. Although it initially may seem more difficult, continuously working together on all parts of the project increases overall productivity. This approach allows us to build on the ideas of others and use each other’s perspectives to create a more well-rounded and fluid presentation about "Online Education".

What specific research will you be conducting in relation to your topic? Be as specific as possible.

Since every group member has different skills and talents, recognizing each member’s unique strengths is essential to maximizing the group’s collective productivity. I will have to look for the meaning of online education. And why people even feel interest in online education.How is it affecting internationally and what is the impact on people of online education.group learning has its irreplaceable importance, but we got to spend proper amount of time in it. I've stated that working in group creates good atmosphere for communication, and communication helps a lot not only in problem solving but also in motivating every member in the group. Meanwhile, I've also pointed that working alone for meditating and review is equally important because group learning won't help you anything in digesting all the information acquired. That is individual part of this project is significant. Therefore I know my contribution toward this project.
