Notes about the September 7 class

First I recommended everybody to follow the documentary series The Story of Film - An Odyssey on Teema.

It is broadcasted every Sunday on Teema at 9 P.M. between September 2 and December 9.
All 15 episodes are visible on Areena 30 days after the first broadcast.
Episode 1 is here
Areena

We had a mini-workshop "The medium of my choice". Everybody was sent to a small but remote island with only one medium: Radio, Television, Cinema or News/Printed Media.
All islands got several inhabitants and the students motivated their choices with very good arguments.
***
Then we had another mini-workshop. This time all islands had Internet, but only one Social  Media service: Facebook, Skype, Twitter or Google+&other Google apps.
Again all alternatives were supported, and students explained the justification of their call in a forceful manner. (I adore smart students, a privilege to work with you.)

I said one key service was missing, http://www.linkedin.com Only a few students have an LinkedIn account so far. I believe everybody will have a brilliant cv on LinkedIn before they start looking for summer jobs and work placement.
***
Then we talked about the course schedule and assignments. We also built teams, one team for every topic of the course. (You can see the topics on the menu bar above.)
