I will be in class this week, so those of you presenting do not have to worry about a YouTube presentation.
In terms of the readings: two exercises.
1.) Review the Palfrey article and blog about a time when you, yourself, used his 3-step process to ‘experience’ something new. (It may take some time, but you can probably come up with one. Did you ever notice a headline or topic, but kind of ignore it? Then you see the story again, so you click on a link to learn more? Then maybe you go to the 3rd step?) If you only do steps 1 and 2, talk about why you didn’t get to step 3…
2.) Consider posting, on your blog, an avatar you use on a different site – and explain it. Is it just a picture of you? Why did you pick that one? Is it a cartoon? Your cat? A piece of art? How and why do you choose what you ‘look like’ online???
