Part 3: #Social Media@
/in /by Vannesa Mcmurrayour objective this week was to search social media on our topic, If you’ve read this far you know my topic is the cost of higher education. I searched twitter and facebook. My first search was on twitter and I typed in Cost of higher education and didn’t get much, well I did but I didn’t. I got a lot of posts but there were more comments and sites advertising doing online classes and finance companies postings. so that didn’t work out too well. I typed and typed a few different things and then finally typed in the simplest thing #highereducation then clicked on the news tab and got a lot more beneficial things to look into. something that caught my eye was https://twitter.com/kohlidescope and the post that takes you to http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/money/the-pitfalls-of-co-signing-a-student-loan which I find is a pretty interesting read. IT tells you about co signing on these student loans that youre supposed to be getting a break from only to find out youre going to be paying even more for co signing. And if that’s not enough hopefully you never die or make a late payment because that loan will be repossessed, so to speak.
Social Media Search
/in /by Marisa FloresWhat we were supposed to do in this post according to our assignment was to find something on our topic that is in social media. My topic is health care.
Because I am a lady I thought I might find something on women’s health care. Unfortunately all I could find really, was stuff on Planned Parenthood. Lately, because of what has been going on with Planned Parenthood and the Republicans it’s all over social media. The worst part is that it is either really one sides or the other. So this time I decided to make it general; just health care.
First I went on Twitter. I don’t have a Twitter account so I went on the main website and clicked on advanced search. I put in health care in the searched words and #healthcare in searched hashtags. At first it was hard going through the average Joe’s opinion on health care because that was all I could find. Eventually I got to AvaMed. Avamed is an organization that “is the leading association for med tech manufacturers: legislative, regulatory, payment, news you can use”(@AvaMedUpdate). What I found from them was that their organization works with companies to make medical technology. Mostly, they try to work with companies or even try to get people to start medical companies. They also promote the use of new medical technology.
The second organization that I found was on Facebook. This also took me awhile because I found more average Joe’s on my feed that were associated with or shared links on health care. Eventually I found an organization called World Health Organization or WHO. What this organization does is help people around the world with health care. Recently they are working on a project that helps adolescents with health care (ages 10-19). Mostly what I found from going through their feed was that they are working on doctors and patient understanding that a person’s age effects people’s health differently . Not only that, but will want to be treated differently, hence adolescent health care.
Of course, with these different sites I did some research and found them credible.
