Tell Me Something that I Don't Know

The Chris Matthews show is a syndicated TV show. One of the segments on it is "Tell Me Something that I Don't Know." Top news reporters from around the country tell Chris their "scoops and predictions" about current or future events. Similiarly, TELL US something that we don't know about technology or cultural/social media.

Keep in mind: this is more of a HOW TO that you demonstrate or present rather than then general news information.

Ideas: What does the # do? What is RT and why should I care? Useful freeware. Apps to use in school.

Not looking for: On Tuesday, there were slam poets here in the CC

Due Thursday, August 25

Due Thursday:
Read New New Media Preface & Chapter 1
 

EXERCISE 1: Your Online Identity. Log off everything. Do your best to figure out who you are online. Use search tools like google, facebook, myspace, etc… to see how exposed you are online by the average user. Write a one page report on your identity online listed how much of your profile is exposed, what type of content you have online (blogs, articles, projects, artwork, etc…), and what you know about you.
Treat this as a third person POV project. What be your impression of this person? A good hire? Fun to be with? Interesting?
This is due  on Thursday.

EXERCISE 2: USING THE SAME APPROACH AS ABOVE, IDENTIFY A FELLOW STUDENT’S ONLINE IDENTITY.

This is due on Tuesday.

 Treat this as a third person POV project.
