I regularly write articles (about twice a month) for the website aimed at people 55+ produced by Twin Cities Television, the PBS station in Minneapolis. I write on a variety of topics, as varied as health, tech, and relationships. My articles, which have a large number of views, are then picked up by outlets such as Forbes and the Huffington Post.

Taught a semester-long Journalism seminar called Social Media: Practice and Theory. We covered as many social platforms as we can fit in, as well as visiting a social media team at a major newspaper and bringing in (via Google Hangout) a top person involved with a global NGO to talk about social media for social good and an expert on social media etiquette.

Then I co-taught the class with another journalist/social media specialist. We covered all aspects of social media and social analytics, working with public relations professionals, nonprofit and foundation leaders, small business owners, and, of course, journalists. What distinguished our course was the individual attention we gave each student. Our vibrant approach involved "field trips" that gave hands-on experience with various social platforms. The students in our classes formed communities that remain active via social media long after the lecture hall has emptied. Show less
