Exercise 3: Part 2

Marketing:
I have used Reference USA and Business Decision to market programs before with little success.
However, several small business entrepreneurs have been delighted by these tools and seemed eager to use them to market their small businesses.





Here is the flyer I created using Canva. I did not find it very user friendly,but I can see that it has its uses once you have created something a few times. You could use it to put up a very professional looking sign at the last minute to announce change of venue. I wish I had known about it when I was designing the Cats need new home flyer for my friend. oh, well. 

Lesson 2: Challenge

Free Money From Nigeria

Ok, this used to happen all the time.
I think the scams have changed. Anyway, I would tell the patron that this is a scam and that I would not put out any personal information in response to an email. I would show them websites such as this one:
 https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0002l-nigerian-email-scam

I have had patrons refuse to listen to me and keep on emailing and typing.

Lesson 11 wrap up

  • Go back to your thoughts/ideas about technology and mobile devices. Has anything changed as a result of this experience?
  • What were your favorite Cosas/Things and discoveries?
  • Did you connect with others doing the 11.5 Cosas?
  • Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
  • What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or content?
  • Describe your learning experience in one word or in one sentence. We may use your words to promote 11.5 Cosas learning activities to others
I have become more comfortable with mobile devices. I can now take selfies and work more with tablets. 
I did not really connect with others using 11.5 ,but I think it is a great program. 
I was pleasantly surprised to learn about all the great government resources out there on Frank's Government guide. 
I loved being able to sit in on a training session for 11.5.
I am not sure what I would do differently.
Learning Experience in one word: zany!

I had a great time. 
Thanks for all your hard work.
