Almost there

We all know that "almost there" means, almost at the end of the class.

The last week of the class is quickly approaching and with this, the end of the second summer session and your online Social Media class.

Unfortunately there is no option on blogger to upload a file, so I will repost the final assignment on Facebook's group!

Quick note about the grading of your wikispaces: 
You will be graded individually based on how much work each of you put into the project and as a team based on the quality, approach, depth of information and, of course, readability. So, if you haven't done this yet, take time to think what is the best way to organize your wikispaces to reflect the final assignment. In order to this, imagine if you read somebody's else wiki posting and think: would I keep looking at this wikis or I will jump to another, more comprehensive, page?

You still have one final, exit blog to finish. I would like to hear your reflection on what you learned and what you think should have been done differently (except for the amount of work I gave you: don't forget that this class is instead of 5 days a week, 3 hour classes:) ). But, please, be honest, if you just say "It was a great class, I learned so much..." without saying what you actually learned... it won't give you additional points towards your final grade!:)

For this final blog, I would like to ask you to look at your applications on your smart phones and pick one or two that you use the most or more unusual (like the digital lighter or candle you can "burn") and write a short reflection of "why" you downloaded it. This part of your blog will help me for a class I am considering on mobile applications and social reality. :)

If you never met me but you recognize me around the campus, please, say hi! Feel free to drop by my office in Decary (317) and introduce yourself!

My impression from the class overall was very high and I should say that I wish I had all of you in a classroom class because we would have had some really good discussions! Well, my impressions from your individual performance will be reflected in your grades:)

Look forward to reading your wikis! Think as if you are a reader and not only a creator of the wiki!:)

Enjoy the short time left until school starts and for those who are done with school: GOOD LUCK in your endeavors!
