Recap of today's session
Watch this to learn about your 'digital dossier'
H/W: (Due: Fri)
Finish your 100% poem (look in the slideshow to see the example of the poem)
Your poem should contain:
1) Domain specific language (words and phrases associated with being online. e.g. selfie, jpeg, drive etc.)
2) Specific ideas that capture your online identity - e.g. tweets to check in, torrents to check out
This example is 'showing' not telling how I spend my time on line
3) A 'continuum' format e.g. 100%, Days of the Week, a recipe etc.
Reminders:
All classes: DO NOT FORGET your purple set of 'parts of speech' cards in a ziplock bag for tomorrow
"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." Maya Angelou
