In the field of cosmetology traditionally the course is taught through application and theory. However, with the surge of social media many trends and cutting edge techniques are being featured in video clips that are up-loaded in-line. Being able to use avenues such as these brings another dimension to the classroom, improving the dynamic of both teaching and learning.

I've always kept my lesson plans in a folder for easy access. However, it never occurred to me to back them up in case of fire or any other tragedy. This is a tip I will employ in future semesters.

This course was was concise and well organized and I believe it will be of benefit to many.
