Wednesday, March 16th Agenda

Boston Trip (For the daily schedule refer to the google doc.)

Morning Session:

A. Know your daily social media job. Begin to do this during the morning session and continue throughout the day if necessary. (This is the multi-tasking part.) (I will check on this at 1:30 during our 2nd work session.)

B. Partner Feature Story - RUaDgtalNativ:Social Media Tools for the 21st Century

• You have 5 min. to Plan two ideas to Pitch regarding a social media tool or concept you have learned about.
• We have 5 min. to Pitch and vote/determine what each partnership is going to focus on.
• You have 50-60 min. to Prepare as a team and Post a draft your blog article.
• As you Plan/Pitch/Prepare keep in mind that the post must:
• Describe what it is
• Articulate how it works
• Explain how it is "social" media
• Discuss why it is useful (What is it's purpose? Can the purpose be different for different people or organizations?)
• Explain how it can be used by students for educational purposes
• Be 12-15 complete sentences - it can be 1 or 2 paragraphs if necessary
• Have a catchy title
• Use the following tags: RUDN, socialmedia
• Include at least 2 links
• Contain at least one form of media to visually represent your topic (photo or video or other graphic of some kind)
• Have Ms. Boncher or Mrs. Poulin edit your article; then Post it to the LA Winterim 11 Blog.
• Promote your article anyway you want to.  Highest views by Friday morning is the winner . . . of what, not sure yet.
• "Re-Blog" (or share) your post to the RUaDgtalNativ? Blog site.(The first partnership to figure our how to do this gets a sweet snack today.) DO NOT cut-n-paste into a new post. (I'll know.) A "re-blog" or share happens while you are reading the original post.

Your done with morning session at this point.  The latest you can leave the Digital Lounge and make it to our lunch reservation is 11:15. The earliest you'll be allowed to leave by Ms. Boncher or Mrs. Poulin is 10:45.

Afternoon Session:

A. Keep this in mind - all projects must have a minimum of 2 blog posts written about them. However most on-campus projects should have 3 or more. (You'll probably want to do a "final" update for most of your on-campus projects, you still have Thursday as well.)  With all this in mind  . . .

• Go to the "edit post" page and look at the tags on the left. Do you see your projects listed?  Check the number of posts. By Thursday at 2:30 all projects need to meet the minimum, however  . . .
• Just because your on-campus projects may already have 2, we expect a final update might be needed. 
• Work on your individual project post or posts for today - good title, links, media, tags!
• DRAFT must be viewed/edited by Ms. Boncher or Mrs. Poulin before it can hit the blog.

B. Final Slide Show Prep

• Log in as LAWinterim (in a different browser or sign out as you.)
• View each of your project's photos in Picasa.
• Choose 1-5 images for the Final Slide Show.
• COPY (do NOT MOVE) them into the "Final Slide Show" Album in Picasa

C. Don't forget to "multi-task" and do your Social Media Job for today. (But  . . . be careful about signing in as LAWinterim.  You want your blog posts to be "signed" by you, not LA Winterim.)

D. Reflection of your work on this agenda.

You are done with the afternoon session at this point. We will leave the libary as a group at 3:15-3:30 (or at least 2 hrs. 15 min. after we arrive).  If you are done, you may roam the library only or use your lap top for personal reasons in the Teen Lounge. Ms. Boncher or Mrs. Poulin determine if you are done.
