We started the mini-blogging summit with a quotes from Steve Jobs about Passion. Then one of our speakers, Ms. Grace, then started the summit with a “social media 101” like few tips about social media and also tips on how to use social media. She also explained the do’s and don’ts of social media, as well as important guidelines of social media. Some guidelines and tips on social media that Ms. Grace enumerated are to connect with the right people, it is not private, it is the present and future, be careful with what you say on the internet. Our next speaker, Sir Eric Cortez, gave us tips on blogging. Some tips that Sir Eric said is to always “write, write, and write”. To help us always write, he told us “to write is to write, not to think”. Sir Eric also shared many personal stories on his blogging career and how he started to blog. Many other tips that Sir Eric told us in the summit is to “reveal yourself”, write from the heart. Another tip is to “immerse yourself”, immerse in other blogs. Another tip is to “think of you readers”, so that you can know what to write.
This summit helped me in my blog, so I know how to blog and get many
page views. Other things I learned during the summit is how to handle social
media and always remember to control on what you blog. With this information, I can be safer on the internet. One thing I could to is to blog about our Lasallian events. This summit is very helpful and the other summits we are going to have are going to be helpful as well.
