Hard to believe, but it is time to share the final assignment for the semester. This is a two part assignment … the first is to be completed on an individual basis while the second will be completed in your teams. This week we’ll give you over half the class to work with your teams, so come prepared with any questions you may have. Also, it is important that you get close to completing the first part prior to class Thursday.
Individual Assignment (Part 1)
You will make three separate blog posts that are designed to be a synthesis your own work from the past semester. We’d like you to draw upon your own posts and synthesize your thoughts around our three themes — community, identity, and design. Each post will be about one of the themes. Please take time to link to your own posts and to draw upon the work of your classmates that may have influenced you over the course of the semester. When you do draw upon any examples please take the time to link to the originating content.
Team Assignment (Part 2)
As a team, you will be asked to create a single wiki page that will provide a meta synthesis of the 5 core technologies the teams covered in class:
- podcasting
- wikis
- youtube
We’d like you to discuss the 5 core technologies in terms of the of the affordances they provide and their relation to the three themes of the course. We’d like you to draw upon your individual responses from the first assignment as well as from other external sources.
We’ve created wiki pages for each team that you will use to create your final team synthesis. We will ask you to discuss these in class the last week.
