October Blue Devil Nation

TV P&C: 1st BDN Reflection

Great job on your 1st newscast! I'm very proud of everyone involved, but like anything in life there is always room for improvement. 


All students must post a comment to this blog posting reflecting on what worked, what didn't work, and how we can make BDN better going forward. I'm looking for ideas on how to schedule taping, editing, and more. Everyone must post an idea, improvement, and you can always compliment someone on their excellent work too!


Also add 5 pros and cons to this episode. Make sure you are offering constructive feedback in a positive statement. Be specific. 


Due Friday 10/28 before class.

Web 2.0: Week of 10/17 - Google Forms

Companies create surveys in order to obtain data about what their potential (or current) customers want in new products, upgrades, and other feedback. After customers submit their surveys, the results/data of the survey are analyzed (numbers are crunched). Online surveys are most popular because the results are all already stored into a database and requires no human data entry. Survey Monkey and Google Forms are 2 of the more popular survey building websites.


Videos:
1) Google Docs in Plain English
2) Quick & Easy Forms with Google Docs
3) Using Forms in Google Docs


Think of the social networking websites you use or are familiar with (Facebook, Google +, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.). What are these sites missing? What new features would you like to see? Your goal is to create a brand new social networking website that includes major enhancements to existing ones. Before you begin, you need to know what your customers want! (This project will be done in pairs)


1) Create a survey form on a new social networking website that includes specific innovative features not available on current sites. Before you create the survey, use Google Docs to brainstorm with your partner about what your survey will include. Think of your target market first! Who will be using your website?
2) Once you begin creating the survey, you must first drag it your Web 2.0 shared folder so I can view and also share it with your partner.
3) Make sure you obtain the demographics of your population with a few questions about age range, gender, etc. You can also about the # of computers and mobile devices in the household in addition to other pertinent data that will assist you with your new website (product).
4) You must ask at least 6 questions relating to your social networking website for a minimum of 10 survey questions. You will also use at least 6 of the 7 question types.
5) Each partner must take an active roll in the survey design making sure they are logged in under their own name to verify work completed.
6) Once the survey is done, you will embed it on one of your blogs and invite class members, family, friends, to take your survey. Try and get a minimum of 20 responses.

Be creative! Come up with a unique website name! Be positive and come up with the "better" Facebook! ;)


This survey will be completed this week and users can begin taking your survey once I approve it and give you the OK to post it! If there are any questions, please post them here.

Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

Web 2.0: Discussion Questions, Week of 10/11/2011

Web 2.0 Discussion Questions Homework Due before class on 10/12
Now that you have your blog, here are some questions for the comment section:
- Why do people create blogs?
- Other than this class, what can you use YOUR blog for?
- What should you consider before you create or post on a blog?
- What are some blogs that you follow?
- What is Google AdSense?

Web 2.0: Using Google & Technorati Blog Search 10/11/2011

Perform a Google and/or Technorati Blog Search and research at least 2 blogs that interest you. Add those blogs to your Google dashboard as a blog that you follow.

After you have done that, read an article from 1 of the blogs and post a constructive comment on it. The comment will be your opinion on that particular post, not 1 word, not a sentence, at least a paragraph. You will then comment on this post with the URL of the the article that includes your comment so I can review.

This is due during this class period.

Note: Some blogs will make you register as a user to prevent spam. Don't give out too much personal information. If you're not sure, choose another blog to post on.
