Coverage of the Social Media Panel at Belmont University


 

Great questions and well conceived answers were the order of the evening for Belmont University's panel discussion, Facebook to Twitter: Rights, Rules and Realities. This YouTube video of the late evening news package is the work of WKRN News 2's Tiani Jones.

The actual video coverage of the panel discussion can be found on a student blog, Practicum Pioneers, linked here (from that page click OnDemand and then click on the Captioned Video frame).

The event, moderated by Dr. Sybril Bennett, lasted about an hour and included a number of learning opportunities:

  1. Belmont students used the event to experiment with mogulus.com and CoverItLive.com to broadcast text and video as well as interact with an external audience
  2. Convocation attendees heard legal professionals and higher education officials talk about cases and experiences with social media that were eye-opening for many
  3. Several college administrators from area universities observed both the panel and the student broadcast work and left feeling that similar events are needed at their respective universities.
  4. We all learned that there are challenges in being part of the production of a special event AND being part of the electronic coverage of the same event

Special thanks to Tiani Jones and NewsChannel2 for the coverage of the event.
