COSC 1010HCourse Journal Part IIYou must complete both journal topics listed below. Each should be submitted as aseparate Journal Entry post on Blackboard in the Course Journal Part II journalarea.Each journal entry should be between 500-1000 words.Submission: Although your are welcome to initially work on your journals offline in aprogram like Microsoft Word, journals MUST be submitted by putting the journalcontents into the journal entry’s Message text area.Journals attached as Word/pdf documents will be given 0.Pasting from a text editor into the entry box will strip formatting like paragraphs, soplease read it over in the box, and reintroduce any missing formatting (500 words all inone paragraph is very difficult to read!)References: These submissions are meant to be reflective journal entries where youexpress your opinion and talk about your experiences. It is possible to complete thejournals without requiring any references.However, factual information gained from an outside source MUST be referenced.Failure to do so is considered academic dishonesty, and will result in a 0 on thejournal, and may lead to other significant academic penalties.The format of your references, if necessary, is entirely up to you. Something as simpleas a web link in brackets after the content would be sufficient.Journal Topic #3 – PodcastingThe task for this journal entry is to learn about podcasting• Start off by doing a little Internet research to determine whatpodcasting/webcasting is.• Next you’re going to listen to some podcasts.If you have (or don’t mind installing) iTunes, you can listen to yourpodcasts on your computer using it – or any iDevice. This is the simplestway to accomplish this. Podcasts are available from the iTunes store, andare all free content.Mobile device platforms have several podcast apps that will allow you tofind/download/stream episodesYou could install an aggregator to listens to them on your desktop(something like gPodder, which is free and works on all platforms)Some podcasts also stream from the websites as well, so you can watchthem in a browser.• Listen to at least one episode from each of the following podcasts (or typesof podcast:o Any episode of How Stuff Workso An episode of any podcast produced by TWiT (This week in tech)o Any episode of Freakonomicso Any other two podcasts of your choice (one should be video, theother should be audio only)• In your journal entry, be sure to identify and evaluate the podcastepsiodes you watched/listened to. Reflect on your experience withpodcasting, and consider how this technology fits and/or contrasts withother methods for presenting, and gathering information we’ve looked atso far.Journal Topic #4 – Another Social Information SharePrior to the World Wide Web, most of the “content” we viewed was produced(and acquired) commercially (Newspapers, magazine, television, radio). Sincethe advent of “Web 2.0” we have very quickly moved into an age where much ofthe content we consume is produced (or at least shared) by other end users.The first three journal topics you’ve completed had you look at some of the bigplayers in alternative forms of sharing content (leaving out Facebook, whichmost of you already have lots of experience with).For your fourth topic, you can choose a form of social information sharing toinvestigate and experience. We would prefer you chose one your don’t usefrequently already, and it can’t be Facebook. Some suggestions include servicessuch as:• Pintrest• Instagram• Vine• Tumbler• LinkedIn• Google+Once you’ve chosen your topic, investigate it, use it, and write a journal aboutyour experiences with it. Consider similar questions to what you’ve examined inthe first three entries.
