13th

For class on Tuesday, February 28th, please watch 13TH the documentary. The trailer is posted below. You can find it on Netflix. Due to weather conditions I won't be back in town until later in the afternoon. See you Thursday.

#inauguration

Watch the Inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump this Friday and follow the buzz on social media of your choice. The official hashtag is #inauguration. As you may imagine, there are many others.

For the uninitiated this might be confusing at first. What will help is having the ability to watch or listen to the inauguration in real time while using hashtags that relate to the content.

Take a few notes, or better, a few screen shots of the feed you're following. For example, your Facebook newsfeed may light up with comments against or supporting President Trump's talking points.

What rhetoric stirred things up on your social feed?
Were you affected by the rhetoric and/or your social media feed?

At the end of the evening, post your responses to the questions above along with your thoughts on your blog. As I indicated, screen shots of your feed will be helpful for you to track this and report on your blog. This is a great artifact to see social media in action and to actually become a part of it.

Once you've created your post, read and respond to at least one of your peers' posts as well.
