Optional reading: 

 Professors of the Book, Students of the Smartphone

Your professor's review of Prof. Jose Luis Orihuela's new book, "The Media Since the Internet". 



Exercise 2, create a thematic blog, Group Project

Creation of blog groups (3-5 students). Selection of blog topic and platform.

1) Students will organize themselves into groups of 3 to 5 and decide on a topic for the thematic blog. Once the team has decided on a theme, you should discuss it with the professor for approval.

Suggestion: pick a topic that you know something about and that you want to know even more about.  

2) The group should designate a coordinator of the blog. (Use a blog that one of you has created, or create a completely new blog.) The coordinator then invites the other members of the team to be authors (in Blogger go to Settings/Basic/Permissions/Add Authors) by email. You can also use Wordpress (Users/Invite/New).

3) As indicated in the Class Schedule, the first post of each member of the team should be, "The story of your personal connection with the topic", and the deadline is 14 Sept. 2017

4) Each student should start working on the draft of their first blog post and review the Guidelines for Blogs of the class.


5) At the end of the class, the coordinator of each group will post in ADI:
Title of the blog
The authors
And the link to the blog (the URL)
6) It would be good for the blogs have a related Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or other social media account account to improve visibility of the contents.
