Week 13: Social Software Literacies & Affordances

27 November 2010 | Filed under: Social Media, Web 2.0, Week 13 | 2 Comments »

Welcome to week 13 — our second-last week together! This week’s slideshow is a quick one (04:13) that simply provides a couple of questions for you to think about this week. As usual, the readings for the week are on the content page.

One small change to point out for THIS week: our regular chat will be on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. We’re using the google doc again, so hope to see you there!

Happy week 13, everyone.


Week 12: Social Media Policies & Assessment

21 November 2010 | Filed under: Assessment, Policies, Social Media, Week 12 | Comments Off

Welcome to week 12! I know last week was a little rough for some of you (lots of FIMS-y deadlines, plus mashups can be a little confounding, yes), so this week will hopefully provide some welcome relief! We’re looking at social media policies and assessment this week and, as usual, the slideshow is embedded below (9:34).

Also note the very last bullet point on the content page for this week — send me your gmail addresses to get invited to the Google Doc, where we will be having our chat again this week.

Have a great week, folks.
