After our discussion with Prof. Essid I began thinking of a proposal I could make to the writing center to attract more students and to make the writing center more proficient. What I had suggested to Prof. Essid during class was the first part of this proposal, creating either a facebook or twitter account to get the word out about the writing center. But this proposal can also be more versatile...another way we could use a facebook or twitter is to post when the writing center has available appointments (such as a no show). These can be posted online where students can check and walk-in if they need some last minute help, without having to make a formal appointment.
Just some thoughts I think could help the writing center out :)
Twitter and FB are a great ways to spread the word. EVERYONE nowadays is connected (just look at all the students in the library whoare "studying"). And the idea about posting available time slots is genius. Great ideas, keep em coming.
ReplyDeleteYeah I definitely think that facebook or twitter would help a lot. One of the big problems with the writing center is that a lot of people don't know about it or don't know how to use it. Most students have either a facebook or a twitter and so it would be much easier for them to access it.
ReplyDeleteI was actually surprised to hear that the Writing Center did not already have a facebook page or a Twitter account. It's about time we get with the times! Let's implement that next semester!
