Class February 19

In class today Rishi and Melissa talked to us about Smart mobs and we did some exploring on the internet to see some recent examples. We then talked about some of the historical precedents of smart mobs (such as the Boston Tea Party!) and identified the features of digital technologies that have extended their possibilities.

For Monday -
You blog assignment is listed on your calendar:

Blog 7: What in the world of print might correspond to the communications that underpin flashmobs? How have digital communications changed/remediated these communications and what are the effects of that remediation? What kinds of changes might you predict for the future?

AND

Read the wikipedia article.

In class on Monday, after Cathy and Jenna talk about the reading assignment, we will do some talking and writing to get you started on your wikipedia post.

I will be looking at your literacy narratives, hopefully within the next week, and you will receive an email with comments.

Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!
