Description : Better understand your social network through these hands-on workshops. Social media beginners and savvy users alike will benefit from hearing Dr. Marc Smith, of Connected Action, explain the value of a connection-focused perspective and provide easy-to-follow guidance on how to analyze a social network. Network approaches can highlight patterns and reveal missing pieces, triggering a creative spark or a breakthrough idea. All workshops are free and open to the public. Attendees should plan to participate in an introductory session before an advanced workshop. Limited complimentary parking will be available in the lot directly north of the Weitz CEC. UNO undergraduate and graduate students will be able to continue exploring this subject after the workshops by collecting and analyzing creative network data at the UNO Social Media Lab. The Social Media Lab reviewed the involvement on social media, with around 79 people engaged in the activity on Twitter (other platforms were used for people to engage in the activity but no report of those numbers). There were roughly 150 students from 4 different classes.
