Hi everyone. Mrs. McConkey and I are at To Kill A Mockingbird this afternoon with the 2D English class, so you've got some more time to work on your blogs. To recap, you will be responsible for at least three blog entries on your blog and for leaving comments on at at least three other blogs in the class (this one counts too!). The due date is Monday, October 22 and you will be presenting your blog to the rest of the class on that day or the next.
You were given an article to read today about Time's Person of the Year and asked to write a response that included some predictions about the Internet of the future. If you haven't yet posted on your blog yet, why not start with this topic? The YouTube clip on Web 2.0 that I showed the first day of class is a good tie-in, as well as the Prometeus clip you viewed in class that Hayley S. brought to my attention. Both can be found at the bottom of this page.
If I do not yet have the URL for your blog, please send me an email or leave a comment in response to this post with the address. Over there on the right side of the page are links to student blogs that have already been started. Have a look. Also check out my other suggestions. This list will be growing, send your picks as well.
The following notes are for specific students, but feel free to click too. Keep up the great work, have an excellent long weekend and we'll see you on Tuesday.
Chad, I thought you might want to start by having a look at the Beastie Boys' blog and website. They released a documentary last year called "Awesome! I...Shot That!" that pulled together footage from 50 fans who were given video cameras at the same show. They've also become very involved in political activism. If it's activism you're interested in, check out the Independent Media Center site too. And the Wikipedia page on Tupac has lots of information and links to follow.
Sam and Nina, have you seen this new Dove ad yet?
