TODAY’S AGENDA
• Note takers for today.
• Project #3 due date & schedule updates
• Google Docs issues
• Introducing Project #4: Technology
Autobiography
• “So What?” Twitter exercise
• Recognizing compelling details
• Wrap-Up
PROJECT #3 & SCHEDULE
• The due date for Project #3 remains Friday, November 19
at 5pm.
• Due to the holiday, there will be no face-to-face class
meeting for next week, Week 13. Instead, I will give
everyone online work which will be posted on the
“Schedule” page, where all of our work is always posted.
GOOGLE DOCS PEER REVIEW
From my POV, several things went wrong:
Some of you did not carefully read the assignment details
on the “Schedule” page and thus did not upload papers
at the time I asked or at all, which necessitated that I do it.
Some of you did not bother to closely read the interface
of Google Docs to find the “Folders” heading before
claiming you were stuck and didn’t know what to do.
Some of you sent me many vague emails and Tweets
about “things not working” instead of checking out the
videos I made for you, or seeking out other help online.

PROJECT #4
Please go to the “Technology Autobiography” under

TWITTER NARRATIVES
• Log in to your Twitter account.
• Write a technology autobiography in the space of a
tweet.
• Then, respond to your classmates’ tweets. Use these
questions to guide you:
Does this story have a narrow enough focus?
What’s the “so what” here?
Will the audience care?
• Use your classmates’ feedback to refine your
technology autobiography tweet as you go along.
• Use hashtag #autobio.
