Share it maybe.

If you haven't seen this already, you're missing out. 

This reminds me of when I was in ninth grade, in German class, and we had to make a video of this somewhat creepy poem by Goethe, Der Erlkönig . My group chose to use my Sesame Street hand puppets: Cookie, Oscar, Big Bird. Somewhere, in old school camcorder format, there is a video of this floating around. Pretty sure it was cinematography at its finest.

This Cookie Monster video is actually really nifty though, especially give the other versions of this song that have already gone viral. Definitely worth a few minutes to watch it.

And now I'm following Sesame Street on Twitter. Any random Twitter recommendations to follow? 

Social Media...my new frontier.

So I went to a conference for work two weeks ago where two of the sessions I attended were about using social media in international education. And they were amazing. I came back home with SO many ideas on how we can incorporate various types of social media into our office. I've literally been buzzing about them to every poor soul who makes the mistake of wandering into my glass walled cubicle. I seriously pulled up my Pinterest account to show off my "Flamingos are Festive" board in a meeting today to try and demonstrate the untapped potential that exists within the expanding world of social media.

Feel sorry for my coworkers.  

But in addition to that I'm just learning how much fun it is on a personal level. Last night, for example, I participated in a Twitter Party hosted by Tina of Carrots'n'Cake, one of the healthy living blogs I read. It was all about the new OikosFroYo. I love froyo. I love her blog. And I now love Twitter. So to me, this was super fun. I got to follow along and respond, working on other projects in other windows. 

I've used Facebook since it first came out , but now I'm getting comfortable with Twitter, too. I feel excited and relaxed and looking forward to finding more ways to engage socially with my every day life. 

What do you think about Social Media? Love? Hate? Don't really get it (I'm looking at you, coworkers!)
