Continuing work...

I had trouble with my thumb drive again...a lot of my files got corrupted. So I basically started over. I now have a new draft that is better (I think).

I spent some time today looking at social media jobs and roles in organizations. There are a lot of interesting roles out there. Collaboration using social media seems to be the next big thing!

Working on this week's assignment

A lot of reading required for this week's assignment. The assignment:

Find and review five peer reviewed qualitative studies. Summarize the topic, problem, purpose, design, and findings of each.

(Stated goal: Reading journal articles helps to develop fluency with any research method)

I spent about an hour yesterday searching for and skimming articles for the paper. I found some good ones. I finally decided on five (one I liked - research on food-related tweets - did not make the cut).

An example for one of my research questions...

An example of a business/organization that does not always post the same information on its social media pages. In fact, the business may have changed strategy...

Paper on Qualitative Research Questions submitted

I finally completed and submitted the week 5 paper - the paper on qualitative research questions. I worked and worked on the questions (worked on wording, ensuring it would be new information in the field etc.). The paper turned out okay.
