Week of May 9 - May 15

PLEASE NOTE: At 6:30pm on Sunday, I changed the second discussion question. Please make note of it. (The second discussion question was changed because I found your papers highly interesting. As I reviewed the first few papers over the weekend I thought that it would be useful for your colleagues to know what you researched and observed since you all have put an AMAZING amount of effort into your projects. Go ahead and brag a little.) :)


Hello Class! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend so far. Here is what's on the Schedule and Participation Pages for this week:

*Read Chapter 15: Computer Mediated Communication

*Participate in Week 16 discussion

*Begin to study for the final exam. The final will cover chapters 1-15.

Class Discussion: Answer one in each of your three posts, at least 12 hours apart:

1). How does CMC differ from f2f communication? (Think outside the box).

2). NEW QUESTION: Review the Observation of an Outside Group project. What did you find useful/not useful? Did you like this project? Why/why not? Why did you choose the group you observed for this project? In short, briefly introduce your project to the members of the class, and discuss its usefulness, frustrations, etc.... (I expect for most, that the answer to this question will be quite long - go ahead and make it as long as you'd like).

3). Pick one other concept in the book (any chapter) that you feel needs further discussion?

Remember to post 3 responses to your colleagues blogs during this discussion week.

***This is your final week of discussion - let's make it a great week!


REMINDER: Thursday, May 13th is a furlough day.
