Brief: Travelers Log #2 – Feb19th
Loading ...I have decided to change the rules of the game but keep the main principle the same. For now lets put the two groups idea aside and try to all manage our group attention. For next week you are all getting the same assignment and as a group we will try to decide together which posts to discuss. The new rating module I added might help us (and it might as well stand in our way, we’ll have to see).
Anyway…
- During this week post at least once to the blog reporting from the new media environment you have embedded yourself in. Please be sure to format your posts in a way that would make it accessible to scan through before reading or would make it inviting enough for the rest of the students to read and hopefully comment. Use images, titles, block-quotes, links, video embeds, audio or whatever you think might make your post more appealing to read and provoking to discuss. Foster the discussion on your post and try to learn from it. These post should be mainly reporting on your experience from within the environment you chose. No conclusions are necessary yet.
- Comment on at least 3 times posts (at least).
* You are welcomed to post and comment whenever, it will be up to your strategic decision, depending on your reading of the blog’s dynamics (with the obvious goal of having your posts and comments contribute to a live discussion on the blog and in class)
Recommended Reading for next week:
- Clay Shirkey: “A Group is it’s Own Worst Enemy“
- Dana Boyd: “Social Network Sites: Public, Private, or What?†(available as audio as well on the same link)
Doron & Eric:
- Read the three articles
- Summarize it for us in a nicely accessible post to be published by Sunday, ideally running some threads between them.
- Be prepared to present the articles in class
- Post to del.icio.us some links that expand the discussion either about the text or about key themes in it.
- Enjoy.
