I admit it; I have been a negligent blogger for the past couple of weeks. There are a lot of things on the go right now, not the least of which included an assignment for one of my PR classes. My first PR assignment ever, so I hope I start out strong! Speaking of PR classes, there’s a few nice links for students out there today, that I missed in my web-absentia.
If you are currently a student, or have been recently, I encourage you to take part in the discussion on Bob LeDrew’s blog Flacklife. He’s currently wondering about the presence (or absence) of Web 2.0 in the PR classroom. Is it being taught, used, discussed?
One instructor who is teaching Web 2.0 is Gary Schlee, who has his students on del.icio.us and blogging. Joe Thornley has taken notice and suggests blogging is a must for any new PR student. Good news for me, since I don’t think many of my fellow students are blogging!
As always, great post from Chris Clarke over on Student PR. He also mentions the online aspect of getting hired, along with networking and internship.
So the morale of the story is if you want to get in PR start trying out the new(er) web ideas. But if you’re reading this, you’re probably already well on your way!
