Submission Schedule
Tonight:
Email you answers to these Questions to me.
I will send an invitation to join our Discussion Group to the address from which you email your responses. Reply to that email to JOIN OUR GROUP.
(Note: they say you don't have to have a Yahoo account to participate, but, in practice you do. The good news is that is free, and easy to set up. Go to: http://mail.yahoo.com/)
Friday, Midnight:
Post Finding with commentary. This week is a free-for-all; anything goes. Find something online that demonstrates an interesting evolution of communication in digital media.
Where to post (as "reply"): FINDINGS.0 = "Interesting Online Apparitions";
Sunday, Midnight:
Post Commment on someone else's Finding ("reply" to a "reply").
Be thinking about who your Community of Discourse will be and how you will go about your Self-Improvement (be ready to discuss next week).
