If you ever have some down time on campus, sophomore Erik Hayes recommends Campus Town's RedBerry. It's just a quick walk away!
Below is the tweet regarding a student's favorite eating spot on campus. Sophomore David M. always enjoys the Brower Student Center.
The next tweet is about a student's civic spirit.
Here is a little known fact about the campus!
Up next is a tweet regarding something about Trenton.
For my tweet about a local business owner, I talked to sophomore economics tutor Noah Adam.
My top favorite tweets were:
Kieran's
tweet about a student's favorite eating place on campus as I thought the video was shot well.
Jamie's
tweet about professors was also well done as it humanized professors and was a good way to learn about the dynamics of the classroom.
Nicole's
tweet about the TCNJ Excellence Ball as it was the first time I learned of it.
REFLECTION
- What I learned from this experience is that I'm not very good at walking up to strangers and asking them to participate in a Twitter Scavenger Hunt. Most people I asked were okay with being part of the project until they learned that it was actually being posted on social media. I also noticed that pictures are easier to get people to agree to but when it came to someone agreeing to the video, it was much harder to find people okay with that. I think this is because many people don't like hearing themselves talk and weren't secure enough with themselves at the time to be the main part of the video. Other things that I learned while doing this experience is that finding appropriate hashtags should be done before the tweet is crafted. This is because you can look to see what hashtags apply to your tweet and which ones are more active than others. Doing this before crafting the tweet is helpful because it can help mold your tweet into something that will reach more people. Another thing that I learned was that I wasn’t comfortable with at-ting companies and organizations directly because I wasn’t sure if it would be appropriate. I think this problem could be fixed by doing more research beforehand and maybe networking with people from those organizations.
