We began this semester by discussing Web 2.0, social media, and networking?

The text book we used for the class is Clay Shirky's Here Comes Overbody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations.^[1]

We learned to create a blog on both a public and private domain.

Paul provided the following list of resources:

• "Making Sense of Social Media: Micro-blogging"
• Sense of Social Media: Twitter
• 7 Things You Should Know About Twitter

You may also be curious about the History of blogging.

We then learned to use video and audio podcasting to illustrate our topics. A digital storyboard was used to help map out our ideas.

As this assignment indicates, this week we are learning how to contribute meaningfully to a Wikipedia entry.

To help understand this process, Paul graciously provided the following links:

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_guidelines
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial
3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_edit
4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cheatsheet
