Can't believe, it's already the finish of our 4 month work on our Social Change Campaign. We learned, we taught, we explored, we struggled. But the benefits of our work are amazing. Take a look at each other's campaign. They look so professional, attractive and absorbing. GNML'ers we did a great job. Congratulations! And I want to tell THANK YOU to our teachers (Dr. Rob, Hilary and Hannah) and you my friends for you feedbacks and proposals.
The most rewarding experience I got during online sessions is feedbacks. I can't explain how it's wonderful to realize that people are interested in your work. Nothing compares to the friends' opinion and their desire to help you. I got different kind of comments: some of them were congrats with the good job, some were opinions, other were advices. But all of them helped me to get new ideas and create new posts and videos.
What about the most challenging experience? I can't tell that I had one. Some of them were easy to complete with some other I have some challenges. For instance: the second assignment was about choosing Social Issue in my country. It took me some time to figure out one. And no, it's not because my country doesn't have any social issues, the challenge included the choosing the issue which is not really mighty, I can actually change with my own efforts now. And I decided to develop Caspian Sea Trash Issue Campaign, beginning with finding volunteers and clean Caspian Sea beaches. I also had some technical challenges with Twitter and LinkedIn. But it was not a big deal to overcome them=)
Social Media take a huge place in our life nowadays. And it's very important to know how to use it in positive manner.
Blogger - one of the most powerful online platforms today. With help of Blog people share information, exchange ideas with others. Considering that the number of characters are unlimited Blog is a good place to explain well what are doing and why. I'm going to continue to use it back home for improving my campaign and sharing ideas with other people who are interested in my project.
Facebook - world’s most widely used and pervasive social media network not only for friends but also for different communities and organizations. I effectively used Facebook as a powerful crowdsourcing platform for my Social Media for Social Change Campaign by inviting friends and friends of friends to “Like” my Facebook Caspian Sea Trash Issue Campaign Page and sharing information from your blog.
Instagram - picture worth 1000 words. Sometimes people just tired to read a long papers and they more enjoy pictures which tells us sometimes more than we can write. Using Instagram’s photo capturing platform, began to tell a powerful VISUAL story about my social issue.
Instagram is very used in my country, especially by teens , because it's one of the easiest ways to tell your story.

LinkedIn - is a professional online network, with more than 200 million professional users worldwide. It's usually used more by professional, for searching jobs and employees. Back home I'm going to find people who will support my project by providing ideas and financing with the help of LinkedIn.
Youtube (the most popular video streaming site on the Internet) and Twitter ( driven by short (micro) messages ideally suited to mobile devices, and “mobile” is a technology that is exploding around the world) are not really used in my country, but there are two other Social Media Platforms used very widely: Vkontake and Odnoklassniki - resemble to Facebook. I'm going to create special pages about my Social Issue on these platforms and improve my campaign.
All Social Media which I got chance to know I'm going to use back home to improve my campaign and bring benefits to our world!!!
