Students from Edward Waters College and Duval County Public Schools attended the Florida Blogging Conference, a national and international social media and technology conference, at Full Sail University. William Jackson, Educational Technology; Social Media; and STEAM professor at EWC, hosts students during this conference and other similar events, to provide them the opportunity to network with industry professionals, build their knowledge base and confidence, and recognize their ability to speak on their own as they grow towards their career.
Students attended workshops during the FlBlogCon that were aimed toward integrating social media and technology in education, commerce business, and developing branding and marketing strategies. The conference, established 6 years ago, is designed to provide students the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to real world careers.
