Week 12: Individual Conferences and More Deliciousness

We wrapped up Convergence Culture this week, which means we’ve made our way through five of our seven books for the semester. No small feat! We won’t start Lessig’s Remix until Week 13, so Week 12 will provide you with a bit of a break as you work on your next short paper and begin moving forward with your final paper.

In place of class on Tuesday, I will hold individual conferences with each of you on either Monday or Tuesday afternoon. Please visit the wiki link I sent out via email in order to schedule your conference. Come to my office (435 Ross Hall) ready to share your ideas for your final paper and ask me questions that might help you focus your research and writing.

On Thursday, we will hold our second “Best of Delicious” day. As you will recall from last time, each of you needs to add a comment to this post containing links to two recent Delicious posts you’d like to discuss in class. (Please create links to the sites, or at least copy and paste the URLs). If someone else has nominated a post that you like, too, you can “second” that post in your comment. Make your nominations before you come to your conference with me; that way, I can send out the list of sites/articles you need to review before Thursday’s class. I will add another post to the class website on Tuesday evening with this list.

Finally, a reminder that due date #5 for your short papers falls on Thursday. Only two dates remain, so if you have only submitted one short paper, you will need to turn in papers on both of the remaining due dates.

    “Government Workers Debate Online Citizen Engagement” – http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10206276-38.html?tag=mncol – It’s interesting that a government of the people, by the people and for the people wouldn’t want to adopt technologies that would help its citizens get their voices heard.

    “Zuckerberg vs. Oprah” – http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/12/mark-zuckerberg-v-oprah/ – Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook did a show for Oprah in early March.
