Week 4

 There are many different websites a person can make an account with and if they pay a fee, can have access to teachings and exams for them to take in order to certify their expertise in certain fields. In my experience, it has been in subjects such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, but also in more general subjects such as search engine optimization, similar to the one Professor Kelsey had us use in his class this past fall.
Before that, I used one of these third-party websites for school in order to get certified, specifically last summer during my final semester at College of DuPage for the Excel class I was taking at the time. Not all are created equal. The one Professor Kelsey had us use was much easier and more efficient than the one I used for my excel class last summer.
This week, Professor Kelsey posted about Hootsuite on LinkedIn, and as I read more and more about what it was, I was curious enough to create an account and take it for a spin. It did not take long for me to conclude that it's my favorite site for teaching, testing, and certification I've used. If I could describe it in one word, it would be efficient. With such short 1-4 minute videos, they are able to communicate such interesting and important information that I haven't had the pleasure to experience to quite this degree in the past. Will for sure continue my pursuits on Hootsuite!
