Today I was officially certified as a “Social Media” expert by Hootsuite University. Hootsuite U. is a nifty online educational program that local Vancouver “social media management dashboard” company Hootsuite has provided to students in my Digital Marketing course at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. It’s kind of nice, as a teacher, knowing that my students have such thoroughgoing back-up to the lectures, textbook, and in-class activities they are getting from me. I must say, the Hootsuite training and webinars reminded me why I need to be humble: I learned a ton, and it took me more than one try to pass some of the tests.
