So we're nearly there! Our website at www.themediaschool.co.za is just about ready to go live - have had to realise that it can never be perfect - every time I log onto it, I end up adding something new to it! Feels like it will never end... But it's been loads of fun playing around with Joomla - what an awesome content management system. You do need to know a little about html, but even with the most basic knowledge you can design your own website and load it up with content and images. I can't wait to teach my students how to use html and Joomla and watch them sink their teeth into it!
Our marketing strategy begins tomorrow - we've joined forces with Brenda Horner from the Gap Academy and Decor School and Catherine da Costa from Cookalooks so we're all going to do our marketing with each other, using our network of contacts. So it will just be word of mouth to start off with - or is that word of mail?? - and is going to be a very interesting marketing experiment - will post results to this blog!
This blog follows The Media School and its projects. The Media School is a tertiary institution that fills a very important gap in the journalism and public relations market - that of increasing students' exposure to actual work experience to make them more employable, while continuing to hone their theoretical skills. You can find us in Roberts Road, Pietermaritzburg or www.themediaschool.co.za.
