Tuning into Class Exchange, CityCampMN project

While we are using the university’s Moodle system for internal course exchange and the syllabus has changed some in the later weeks from the public version here, you can tune into parts of our course here:

• Twitter posts tagged #smedac
• Delicious bookmarks tagged smedac recently  – popular
• We start each class with an open Social Media this Week discussion with links curated from our “smedac, thisweek” Delicious raw materials by Kate Conners at the Humphrey School
• Come to CityCampMN on Nov. 12 (or join the online working group to see where we take it next)

CityCamp Minnesota Picking Up Momentum

As part of the course, graduate students in this course will be participating in the first CityCamp in Minnesota on November 12.

They will be assisting with event outreach, unconference day production assistance, and creating digital memories so to speak of the event to share the results with others.

Week Two – Bookmark Sharing is Delcious

Sharing is starting via bookmarks tagged “smedac.” Highlights each week being further tagged “thisweek.”

Syllabus – Good enough to get going!

While students will experience the week to week readings, assignments, etc. via the e-learning Moodle interface, our syllabus is ready to go. Have a look via Google Docs.

We have details to fill in on a number of lectures and guest speakers, but you’ll get the idea about what this course will cover.

 

“All About Me” Reading Packet

Work on the syllabus is rounding the corner.

Where possible readings will be linked to on the web. Here is a special PDF file SMEDAC – Week One Clift Readings with all the reading for after the first class. This package gives you a thumb nail of some of my direct experience.

New Social Media Course Website (Blog)

Practicing what we preach, this is the public facing website for the Social Media: Engaging Democracy and Communities Online course at the Humphrey School.

Stay tuned. For additional information, see the course leader’s teaching page.
