week 2 :: message design & content creation ::

week 2 : 10 Jan

6:00 pm: review other class member goals for the quarter. Rethink your goals in the light of what has been expressed by the entire class.

Think of a team you've worked on before. Was it effective or not? Why?

By 7.30 pm, post to your blog three personal goals (design, group dynamics, whatever) for our next five months of working together. Also list two team roles that you are willing to take on and two that you would prefer not to be assigned. Try to express this as a story (narrative) rather than a bulleted list.

[Blog posting assignment unfulfilled as of noon Tuesday: Alex, Brian, Heather (?), Jing, Shanna, Simon]

8:00 pm: review possible projects per mailing list. Pick one that you think is interesting or describe a project you'd like to do. Post by 8.30 pm
8.30 pm: Now use google or A9 or technorati (or another search tool of your choice) to find websites that reflect your long-term vision of the project -- either content-wise or aesthetically. Post three examples to your blog by 9.30 pm -- with narrative explaining your choice.
