social media bootcamp aftermath
Yesterday’s Edelman Digital Bootcamp at the University of Georgia that I mentioned last month went off without a hitch! It was a great experience where 60 students from schools all around the Southeast (from Florida to Tennessee & many points between!) traveled to Athens to get hands-on tactical experience for integrating social media into a PR strategy.
The educators gathered for a separate track where we, among other things, talked about specific assignments one could use in traditional PR classes. I plan to post the assignments I shared with the group over the next few weeks.
This was just the first bootcamp, but Edelman will get a plan from my 13-member PR Campaigns team (ADPR 5950) who planned the event so they can take this show on the road to many universities across the United States. Considering the event sold out days before Saturday & there was a “waiting list” of students trying to get in the doors, I think it is safe to say Edelman will do this again.
The talk on Twitter was that the next stop for EDB should be Hawaii. I told them University of Hawaii associate professor Dr. Tom Kelleher would be more than happy to host! I think he might have to invite me to be a part of the educator panel though …
