Online PR....Jaysus what's that??

I was a little bit afraid this is what we'd have
 to be like for Online PR...Not anymore! :)
So.. What is Online PR? That's the question that went around in my head before my first class. If I look on moodle, it'll tell me that...

"The medium of the Internet is a powerful tool for quickly and cheaply accessing audiences of previously unimaginable numbers. This module will introduce students to techniques and activities that enable them to use this medium as an effective Public Relations tool."

Now to me, that's a bit.... *Ugh!*

However, after our first class I was intrigued.. We were told to log onto Facebook.. That was handier than "shnaaking" on during class.. We learned that the advertisements on your page are picked out specifically for you.. Isn't that a bit.. creepy? But interesting...
We also started learning how to write in html code.. That doesn't sound too appealing.. But it is enjoyable..
The theory end covers online advertising, e-commerce.. How all that stuff works.. I'm still not fit to talk in the "techy" language yet.. As you can probably tell!
This is a bit more like my perception of
Online PR people now... 


So far it's probably my favourite subject on my course.. And I'm not just saying that.. It's very interesting..
We've just decided that we're going to have our theory test for it on December 2nd.. That should tell a few tales.. :) Hopefully it'll go well, I found the content of the course pretty interesting so I hope to do well with a bit of revision!
