1a. Why Facebook? 2013 Edition
The Facebook platform currently has the best features:
user-friendliest, easiest navigation, powerful & open
structure that students can access even after they
complete the class.
Facebook has superseded previous methods such as
pen and paper, SMS, group email, google and yahoo
groups, Blackboard and even google class blogs.

4. Professor’s Note 1
1b. Why Twitter? 2013 Edition
Twitter has a unique organizing function with its hashtag feature
which makes it easy to see similar topics.
Try looking for #linkedinatenista and see what I mean.
The required hashtags for each of the assignments are indicated in
the respective articles/ blogposts.

time
2. Avoids = Results
1. Late night work (3 am) = sleeping in class
2. Doing assignment on class day= absent or tardy
3. Accumulation of work= poor quality
3. Destroys myth that mere attendance=
passing the course

23. 7b. How?
Email the file!
 Email attachments are permanent records and cannot
be changed by student after sending (Student can
opt to send an improved version of the assignment
but the date and time stamp will be based on latter)
 Emails bear time and date stamp that cannot be
changed by the student or the coach.
 Remember: Email to: vcoach.serves@gmail.com
 IMPORTANT: Always test your file attachment! Send
the file to yourself and open the attachment. There
are many occasions that attachment cant be opened.

24. How to submit assignments on-line?
7b
What is basis for time of submission?
On or before the deadline
1. Email the file to vcoach.serves@gmail.com (This is the sole,
only basis for the date/time of submission).
Do these other things to make it easier to discuss your assignment
in class. (However, this does are not substitute for #1)
2. Post the url link* of your slidehsare upload on the correct
location on FB. The correct location is indicated in the article
or blogpost explaining the assignment.
3. Embed* in your individual blog.
4. Twit the url with the correct hashtag.
* Requires uploading of the “public version” of your file on Slideshare. Recommend to
“Compress” file to 2 mb or less, convert to pdf, before uploading.

25. 7b. On-Line On-Time Assignment
Submissions (for Friday class)
On time (BLUE): Email the file 11:59 pm Thursday before the
Friday class (Friday when the assignment is due)
Late type 1 (GREEN) = after 11:59 pm Thu to 6:35 pm Fri (class
period). Deduction: -0.5 out of grade of 4.0. Highest possible
grade is 3.5.
Late type 2 (YELLOW) = after 6:35 pm of the Friday pm until
11:59 pm of Sunday. Deduction: -1.5. Highest possible grade is

but before the last day of the course. Deduction: -2.5. Highest
