Here are the assignments for Week 2 of Intermediate Social Media, which runs April 9th - April 15th. These all need to be completed by Sunday evening, April 15th.

This week we're looking at:
Facebook
LinkedIn
Social Profiles: Personal vs. ProfessionalThere are 4 questions posed in this week’s discussion forum on our Moodle course site. Please read the questions and respond to them and other students’ responses throughout the week. For maximum learning, the discussion should occur throughout the course of the week.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES & ASSIGNMENTS:

1) Read this: How to pimp your LinkedIn profile
2) Read this: What is a FB "friend" and how do they relate to your "real" friends?
3) Watch this: The Social Network
4) Watch this: What is LinkedIn?
6) In your industry or area of interest, find a news story or blog post about Facebook or LinkedIn and how it is used in that field. Suggested sources include: Alltop, RWW, Mashable. Share it with the group on Moodle. 
7) Go to Facebook and look up two profiles: the first, that of Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder, and the second being a profile of anyone well known whom you wish to choose. What can you tell about Mark and about your chosen well known person from looking at their profiles? Make some notes for your own reference about anything you learn from the profiles that is interesting, surprising, or shocking to you.
8) If you haven't already done so, go to Facebook and friend Alexander Craghead and Joanne McCall (McCall is my business name, Joanne Wright is my personal name and Marylhurst likes to use the latter. Sorry if it caused confusion). We will then bring you into our private FB group for Marlhurst Intermediate Social Media group. We can "unfriend" at the end of class if we choose to.
9) Go to Moodle, read, and answer the discussion questions found in the Week 2 Section.

See you on the discussion forum!
