Group projects!

We have now come to the part where we have to do group projects in Keith's and Holly class. In order for us to accomplish these projects we need to work together as a team.

These are some guidiance to how we can be a strong team to do our projects:

1) Share the work load evenly amongst each other.

2)  Allocate what every one is doing

3) Have team meetings regurarly to keep up to dateto what every one is doing

4) Every one should be enthusiate to do the work, and encourage others that aren't

5) Help those that are struggling

6) Every one should participate fairly

7) Respect others ideas and thoughts, even though their different from yours

8) When choosing a team consider everyone's strenghts and weaknesses

9) The most important thing is that groupmemebers should COMMUNICATE with eacother.

There might be some issues that we'll face during our projects but we have to saty strong and overcome thoose obstacles and try to work as a team. Some people might not put the same effort as others but be the smart one an do what your suppose to dom the accomplish the project.

COMMUNICATION IS ONE OF THE KEY FACTORS TO HAVING A SUCCESSFUL GROUP PROJECT!

Homeless people turned into WiFi hotspots is it a good or bad thing??

Well in my opinion I think this is a good idea of making homeless people as WiFi spots because it's a charitable fund that are helping the homeless people on the street. This is going to get most of the homeless people off the street and give them the hope that they have something to live for. This will boost off their self-esteem,confidence, hope of life and belonging in the society again. This is a great opportunity for them because now they can afford to buy food to eat, shelter and clothings. There are  a lot of homeless people around in our society today. So to hear that their are trying to help homeless people on the street is extremely good. Their helping them to be part of the community and giving them jobs  so they can survive. Technology is expanding day by day, it is incredible how technology has improved and gotten better. They used the idea of technology and using the homeless people to sell digital device and make them part of the community giving them the chance to have a life again.

In another way there's a turn down to this idea, the branding company BBH  by coming up with the initiative of  the Homeless hotspots are gaining profits. From the government because these homeless people need shelter and clothing so they will probably take some of the money.

The purpose of blogging in PR?


We are talking about blogs, a blog is a website where you can share your private thoughts, it can also be for various other things, it could be your personal dairy where you can share your stories to other people, a collobrative space,a breaking news, a collection of links where people who follow you can read what you write.

The first time I heard the  word"Blogging" was in this course  and I had no clue what blogging was all about and what it's used for. I have come to realise that blogging is a website/tool that is used world wide by companies and individuals to bring attention to their customers and the public about who they are.

Blogs are used by people from all walks of life, and it has become a very important medium of interaction through internet and dosen't have much costage of making it.Blogging offers a solid platform for companies and businesses to interact with their prospects/customers/clients which develops a place where their can get the thoughts of their customers to make their business better.

That's why there's a purpose of using blogs in PR, it's cost effective for companies and it's free communication but you need internet and you can get a mass audience. Bloggging also makes it easy for you to network with people who  can impact on your life/career.

In my own opinion blogging is very essential in PR because it's a good medium of communication to get your message across to you costumers and you can get their thoughts about their needs and wants. Then you can work to towards to improve your business. Networking is also much easier.

I hope I have covered the topic of why blogging is issential in PR?
