Fall is universally known as back to school season as kids across the country fill their backpacks with fresh notebooks and pencils and climb aboard that big yellow bus after a long summer off. But you can still experience the excitement of going back to school, even if you’ve long since graduated! There’s always something new to learn, especially in the world of social media. That’s why resident Technology Therapist Jennifer Shaheen is teaching a series of web classes on the subject this fall.

Over the past six months the social media landscape has changed dramatically. Each platform has made modifications and additions, from increasing the focus on visual content to introducing analytics to measure effectiveness. Jennifer has crafted her web classes around these changes to help both business owners new to these platforms and those who just need to brush up on these new tools.
