I Expect to use multimedia in my sales position in a sort of secondary format. We regularly put out "Customer Showcases" where we create color pages that explain what our customer use our different products for. The last one I made I used Publisher and what I learned from the Newsletter assignment to make a more professional demonstration.
The PSA was fun too. I hadn't used Movie Player before and I had a lot of fun taping my kids and using different effects and music to their play-time activities.
I can't say I liked anyone's blog more than the other. It is always interesting to read other people's points of view regarding subjects that I have commented on as well. I was happy to read in Startupgrind that Chris's pin-stripe suite from the Eisner Museum was not in vain and he was offered a position from one of his contacts.
Rather than an assignment I wish to see included, I would like to see some form of recognition (maybe extra credit points) for students that are the first to break some news in their blogs or tweets. That is where this social medium really shines. I'm not suggesting anything too dramatic like the Hudson River rescue, but who was the first student to post about the Apple I-Pad? I think we all eventually posted about it, but it is important to recognize social media's ability to relay information quickly.

your extra credit idea is really interesting. I definitely agree that social media is all about timing and it would be a great way to encourage students to blog or tweet more often. I really enjoy the blogging and it was great to read other classmates points of view.
