Here is a breakdown of the assignments due next Tuesday evening. Since we have explored the blog settings only in passing, we will address any issue you may have with putting up images, adjusting permissions, etc, in our next class. Have a good, first week at TC!

Assignments #1, due Sep 13, 2016, 11:59 PM
1) Create an individual blog with a first entry that introduces you and your educational background. Add a few sentences about your experience-level with new media. Post a photographic portrait of yourself in the sidebar of your blog.
2) Conduct a short research online and locate an artist who uses technology as an important part of her studio practice or teaching. Write a blog entry about his/her work and how he/she uses technology creatively (1 paragraph; include a reference image of her/his work; do not copy/paste text, use your own words to summarize).
3) Research an art institution/gallery/museum or, if you prefer, school that focuses on technologies and list the type of media they specialize in.
4) Read Douglas Rushkoff, either Chapter 1 or 2, and share two take-aways on your blog.
5) Become a digital steward for one subtopic-area of this course and select your presentation spot through our read/write-page http://piratepad.net/VDH5K0tXUP.
6) Study the syllabus and clarify with the instructor any question that you may have.
General notes: a) Your blog will serve as your visual journal throughout the semester. You will use it as an archive, as a repository for homework, and as your visual journal. Use it also to reflect your learning process and to post notes from the class. Make entries related to our topic along the way including sketches drafts, media files, links, etc. b) Give your blog posts descriptive titles that identify each assignment (1/1, 1/2, etc) so you (and others) can follow your progress throughout the semester. c) Let the instructor know how to best support you. As a community of learner, look out for each other; if you see a class mate struggling, please help if you can and bring it to the my attention. Take advantage of office hours and make appointments; it’s easy: richardjochum.youcanbookme.com. d) Feedback: Ask for specific feedback where you need it. And give each other feedback, too. I will ask you at times to do just that.
