Hello Folks!
Here is what is listed on the Participation Page from D2L for this week. The schedule for the entire semester, and the discussion questions for the entire semester are listed on the Schedule and Participation Pages, respectively. In case you do not want to wait for the "Monday Post", you are more than welcome to get started by looking at those two pages on D2L.
If you haven't already, please get to know the materials well, that I have uploaded to D2L. It is recommended that you keep a binder for this class, and print out the materials on D2L so you can have them close to you at all times.
Due this week:
*Read Chapter 1 (Burkitt text): Society and the Self (pages 1-15 & 22-27 only).
*Read the article "Quality of Online Social Relationships" (download and print from D2L)
*Read the article "Man Computer Symbiosis" (download and print from D2L)
*Participate in the discussion (see questions below)
*Connect to my page through Facebook (info. will be sent in an email early this week)
*Connect to the Comm 131P Twitter Page (info. will be sent in an email early this week)
Class Discussion:
Answer one question in its entirety in each of your three separate posts, at least 12 hours apart. Please make sure you are creating a NEW POST for each question on your blog. You MUST WAIT at least 12 hours from the first post in order to create a second post. The same is true for the second and third post. I will record dates and time of your posts, so make sure they are at least 12 hours apart. EACH POST MUST BE 150 WORDS OR MORE. Each post to your blog is worth 6 points.
1). Respond to the Burkitt text, Chapter 1. What did you learn from the chapter? What did you find interesting or useful? And most importantly, HOW did the ideas relate to social media, i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Blogging, Pinterest, etc.....? (We will use the Burkitt text as a means to interpret how we create 'social selves' through social media. So it is recommended that you read the text with social media in mind.) This will relate to our first assignment in the class.
2). Respond to the article, Quality of Online Social Relationships. Please highlight 2 or 3 main ideas from the article and discuss them.
3). Respond to the article, Man Computer Symbiosis. Please discuss 2 or 3 interesting ideas from the article.
Remember to post 3 responses to your colleagues blogs. (As a reminder, comments will only be counted for the current discussion week. I do not go back to past discussion weeks to look for comments. Once a discussion week is over, it's over. So please make sure you are commenting on a relevant blog post. In other words, pay close attention to the post, and date.
In case there is any confusion, here is how you create a new post:
*Log into your blogger account
*Click "New Post"
*Type a Title
*Type your post into the big box
*Click "Publish Post"
If you do not Publish Post, your post will not become public.
For the upcoming discussion week, you will do the same thing for each question I pose, but you will write and publish your posts at least 12 hours apart. (See the "Participation Page" on D2L for more detail about participation in this course).
Comments - Remember to post ONE comment ON THREE DIFFERENT BLOGS between 12:01am on Monday and 11:59pm on Sunday. This means that you will log onto MY BLOG at: http://comm131p.blogspot.com/ and look under "Student Blogs" to see a list of your colleagues blogs. Click on those blogs, read what was posted for this week and respond. You need to make sure you are responding to only what was discussed THIS WEEK (starting Sunday and ending Saturday of the current week). Comments posted to blogs that were NOT within this week will not be counted for points. Each comment must be a minimum of 100 words.
Note about comments: When you leave a comment on another blog, make sure you are logged into your blogspot account. In other words, you will need to make sure your "Display Name/Alias Name" shows up on the blog you are commenting on. I record the locations, dates and times of your comments. Please keep record of your posts and comments in case there I have questions about where they are located.
I will be checking my email on and off today, so email me with any questions.
