A. Build your professional website.*
Our website is our electronic business card. In this day and age, our clients are more than likely to google us as a first introduction. Here is your opportunity to show your style, state your experience, highlight your achievements. and introduce yourself. *If you choose to develop your own website, please make sure that you DO NOT “go live” with your websites as this assignment is for class purposes only and not for professional use at this current time. There are regulations of when and how therapists can advertise, including the use of a webpage. This assignment will provide you the opportunity to set up a webpage for future use. You can choose to build a free website, with limited features, at any one of the following sites: Wix.com, SiteBuilder.com, Web.com to name a few. Follow the BBS website requirements for advertising under your title/license/registration, which can be accessed here:/https://www.bbs.ca.gov/pdf/publications/adv_guide.pdf. Please understand that you will be able to share your website for the class presentation without it being “live”. Please cut and paste pictures of your webpage into your presentation slide show and upload to the appropriate section in our digital campus. Please see the rubric for additional information. B. Create a professional social media page: We live in a digital era; with that said, our consumers, aka clients, have been turning to social media in growing numbers over the last decade. If you choose this option, create a professional social media page outlet of your choice (Facebook, LinkedIn, or Instagram). This assignment requires you to make at least 15 posts relevant to the focus of your practice and/or professional areas of interest and passion. Posts can consist of links, quotes, questions, and so on and must be from the student perspective as you are not a licensed professional at this time. If you are adding these posts to an existing platform (such as instagram) these posts must be created after the start of this term. Additionally, posts can either be “live” or not Live. Please cut and paste pictures of your social media posts into your presentation slides and upload to the appropriate section in our digital campus. Please see the rubric for additional information.
