2/4

Decent discussion today, particularly for a morning after the Superbowl.

For Wednesday, accomplish the following:

1) continue collecting and printing articles, especially those of you who had trouble. As best as I can, I will help those who wish to email me. But remember that databases usually have good tutorials.

2)create a blog of your own using blogger.com (which is this website). The instructions are largely self-explanitory, but feel free to email me with questions. Whichever group member sets up the blog will need to sign up for a free gmail account. If you're concerned about privacy, make up the personal details. When you invite authors (under permissions) invite your group members and give them the ability to edit the blog (do not, however, give everyone in the world that priviledge)

By Wednesday at 8pm on this blog I want you to:

a) post the link to it on our class blog (that is, here)
b) decorate your blog with at least one photo your group thinks best represents the event in question
c) provide the following under an important links sidebar (click on add element at the dashboard template page, then choose 'link list'):

• a link to one in depth non-newspaper/magazine article (see the inclass prompt from Monday more info on this). Each group member should provide one link, and be sure I know (in the title) who provided which.
• links two videos per group member (again clearly marked) on the subject. We're specifically looking for news video, so search google for local stations and search cnn, fox news, etc. Youtube news videos are fine, but not (yet) Youtube videos made by individuals to commemorate your subject. Seek out examples of how the television media handled your event.

I'll remind you again Wed., but remember that we will meet Monday at 8:15 in room A101 in the library.
