Although I was expected to learn more about the school and it's services but I did learn a few things about the many resources in the library. One positive thing about the class was the slideshows Professor Logan created for class. I learned something new and interesting every class period. One thing that I believe professor should be more strict on is reading the articles and making sure students understand what the purpose is. But besides all the pros and cons the class was great! I made new friends and learned many things. Thank you Professor Logan.

Final Assignment
We were told that we needed to take a freshman class to learn about the student life attending UHD. I was expecting the class to be a bit boring and useless. However after spending my first week with Professor Logan and my peers it was actually nothing what I expected. I made relationships and got the feeling of being in a much different environment than from high school.

Social Media Consultation
Nike:
The brand that my partner and I would be analyzing is Nike.Nike is one of the biggest athletic apparel company that makes sporting equipment, exercise gear, and casual apparel for men and women of all ages and sizes. They use all forms of media so that people of all age will know of their company. They succeed using social media because they have many sponsorship's with many groups worldwide!Overall Summary of social media use:
Nike is Huge with social media. They use all types like Pintrest, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, and Facebook. Nike depends on its social media connection to spread its brand. For example they have the famous slogan "Just Do It" so if you were to go to any social media i mentioned before and were ego type that it you'll most likely get results that'll lead you to some type of ad based on Nike and its performance. Twitter is known for its hashtag symbol. If you were to update your statues mentioning nike and used the hashtag symbol alone with the phrase "#Nike" or "#JustDoIt" you'll get such results. You can also get the same results with Instagram. On YouTube you can find a really cool animated video based on the FIFA World Cup 2014 that has the brand with the slogan "Risk Everything".
Strengths and Weaknesses:
The weakness on such tools is that sometimes people will link them to a disturbing photo or video ruining the brand leading to people not wanting to be involved with the brand. But if anything it has more of a strength because of the fact that many people promote it because its a brand that is of high social statues and quality.

Privacy Info
Facebook: The privacy setting on my Facebook account show that only my friends can see my posts but I found a tab that says ‘review my posts’ and it shows every action in detail that I've ever did on Facebook. It’s actually kinda creepy.
Yahoo: My Yahoo account is pretty secured from what i discovered. I can see when my e-mail has been accessed and from what location. It also gives me an option as to how long my account will stay on a computer if I happened to forget to log out.
Pintrest: Pintrest security info tells us that they try their best to protect our accounts from and theft or type of hacking at the best of their ability but ask for help if we find anything suspicious. The cool thing is that we can create a 'secret board' that are secret for us and anybody we allow to see it.
Google: Google gives me basic security as to who can view my information depending on who i add into the circle.
So in my opinion I believe that my yahoo account is giving be the best privacy. I like that it informs me when and where my account was last accessed and who can see my information.The account that i believe that has the worst privacy is Facebook. There's no limit to who can reach your stuff. I was able to see every action that I ever made on Facebook. Even though I knew what I liked and what I was tagged in I got a sense of being watched by my own self because I clearly forgot about every action I ever made on the site. So seeing every detail creeped me out a bit

The blog Gizmodo
The blog that I'm more interested in out of the two that I have listed is Gizmodo. It's the blog that informs you about all the new,cool, and hip technology that's trending. One article I was reading was about a app that can bring your Halloween costumes to life! Actual animation to your costumes, how cool would that be? You can either make the costumes by hand or go all out and buy all the gear that comes with it. Here's a quick video that'll simply blow your socks off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOQws77j_6c&noredirect=1
