Week Five Assignments

Noise to Signal Cartoon

Welcome to Week Five!

It's been a fun week of discussions and Joanne and I are both very impressed with the comments this week. Great work, everyone. Now it's time to move to Week 5. This week, we will discuss the concept of authenticity in social media, along with touching on privacy a tiny bit, and continue thinking about how to approach social media strategically.

First, a reminder. Next week, Week Six, we will be asking for you to talk quite a lot about your final projects and how they are going. If you haven't worked on them in a while, spend some time on them. If you are having difficulties with them, contact one or both of us and we will work with you.

Second, some of you haven't messaged us with a grade contract yet. Please do so.

Now, onto this week's assignments:

1.) Read/Browse:
Why we think we can speak our minds on Social Media from ReadWriteWeb
The Battle for Social Media Authenticity from Forbes

2.) Check back with the blog over midweek and read two posts that Joanne and I will add for this week. Mine will be up by early Tuesday morning, (or for those who are insomniacs, realllllly late on Monday).

3.) Go to Moodle and answer the discussion questions there. Note there are four this week.

It's a short order on assignments this week as we want to give you time to work on your projects, and we want to continue to see energy spent on the discussions.

Welcome again to Week Five, and onwards!
