Tuesday - tomorrow

Bring last week's  and this week's McLuhan (bring first week's if you didn't re-submit it already)
Bring four term definitions from Wu's book "The Master Switch"
Post the + or - of media from classroom exercise last week.
Read over these posts - no new comments?  no new posts?  Did you join?  Do you have an interest in media?  Did you follow the story about the FCC?  Did you look at the new "links we like"?  Did you "vote" for Best Film?  Did you begin to "play" in this social media?

Next week:  due March 4
The Master Switch
A for Angels:  the beginnings of radio (Chapter 2)                 A  Zhuo    JJ            Zalikha
B for Beauteous:  the beginnings of the telephone (Chapter 3) B  Vasha  Nadeen     JD
C for Creatives:  the beginnings of film (Chapter 4)               C  Lucy   Dimitrius  Christy
Your Job as a Team could divide up like this:
1. one presenter of the major concepts, major names - maybe you have a handout for the class
2. one presenter of the timeline of events - oral
3. one creator of a 1-2 page highlights - maybe one person is "behind the camera" and creates the text

Assignment for ALL for next week

"The Master Switch"  Chapter One."The Disruptive Founder":  here it is on Amazon
Here are some major concepts

1.       Simultaneous discovery	1.       Sustaining and disruptive innovation
2.       Musical telegraph	2.       Discriminatory network
3.       Kronos effect	3.       Schumpeter:  who is he; for what is he famous
4.       Creative destruction	4.       A counter-factual outcome

Take two from the first four and two from the second four (or take only the first four if you only have the sample on your Kindle).  Now you have 4 concepts out of the 8.

• typed & double space
• define each of your four terms
• give it context - illustrate with the example given
• This can probably be done within one page

soooo are we allowed to blog here about our other classes or just this one?

2 copies of The Medium is the Massage: in the Library

You can do it!

Assignments Due on Tuesday!

1. at least one comment here on the blog
2. your McLuhan pages (this is to be one page per set - you have 2 sets + an "everyone" set)
3. Read Medium is the Massage 1-61
4. Sign up for two social Media (SM) apps (Twitter, FB, Pinterest, Buffer, LinkedIn, etc.)
5. Project musings page - muse on it.
