Facebook

  Facebook is one of the very popular social media tools used today world wide.Creating a Facebook Page is a brilliant idea to advertise a business or anything in our lives.Since Facebook is one of the most used websites in our world,I believe it is the primary source of information for most people,including myself.
  I personally created a Facebook Page for myself to help employees find the information they are seeking for not found on a resume or told in an interview.Additionally,if I become a registered dietician in the near future,I would open up my own private clinic and would be able to advertise it through this Facebook Page.An example of this would be a clinic called "Diet Center Me".This business is located in Lebanon,through Facebook I was able to find their page and contact easily (.http://www.facebook.com/Dietcenterme)
  Moreover,I would be able to get introduced to the many future nutritionist in Edmonton through Facebook and share our knowledge.I would be able to search up a Facebook page for a Dietician just like my classmate and then find her blog and read it. (http://ales204nutritionstudent.blogspot.com/)

Introduction

  My name is Rima, and I'm originally from Lebanon which is very small country that sits on the beautiful Mediterranean sea.I'm a third year student at the University of Alberta,located in Edmonton,Alberta.I'm currently working towards my Bachelor of Science majoring in Nutrition and Food Sciences hoping to become a Registered Dietician.My interest in nutrition originated from viewing many people in our culture with a lack of knowledge about healthy eating,including myself at one point of time.I am willing to help and educate people about being a healthy individual.
  I believe that communication plays a major role in our lives today especially that our world is using social media tools more every day.Communication plays a very important role in my career.As a health educator,I would have to interact with people from different cultures and various ages.As an example,if I was to educate children at a school about how unhealthy carbonated beverages are,I would have to explain it to them in a simple way in order to them to understand the objective of my presentation.Just as a fellow student included in her blog we need to learn "how to dumb down what we've learned so that just about anyone can take our knowledge and apply it".(http://ales204ct.blogspot.com/ ).
  As a health educator to appropriately complete my tasks I would have to learn how to communicate with people in a professional way in person and through social media tools like websites,Facebook page and blogs.A page on Facebook for a registered dietician caught my eye last week ( http://www.facebook.com/roubaelasmarofficial?sk=photos ).This young lady is advertising her clinic,and many people know about her clinic today because she asked a celebrity to post a link to her page. Having such communication skills in social media and in person can open up job opportunities.
