Hi TEAM,
I want to emphasize the practical nature of this class in your professional development.
While we are becoming familiar with new digital communication tools, I also hope we all can see the value of these tool to connect us socially (with our friends) and professionally (with people in our fields and industries).
Building professional networks is key for professional development, and digital tools can really help with this. This is why we are exploring how to network using the latest digital communication channels.
In fact I heard in a recent radio new piece, titled "A Successful Job Search: It's All About Networking", that most jobs go unlisted because most jobs are filled through networks.
You can check out that story at:

So...I hope we all will recognize that, while it may seem a bit new (and maybe a bit odd), having developed digital networks, you will be in a stronger position when it comes time to engage in a job hunt.
I hope this extra resource expands your knowledge and thinking.
GO TEAM!
James.
