11/5/09

Tonight our group met at 7 p.m. to run through our presentation and respective Powerpoints. All members of the group have completed their presentations and have a solid idea of the direction of their personal portion of the project.

We plan on meeting again next Tuesday to have the presentation completed and practiced individually. We are going to run through the presentation several times using the required technology and will time the presentation.

In addition, we plan to present our project to Dr. Jenny on Thursday the 12th, a week from today. We plan on meeting at 8:45 to set up the technology and to present at 9 am.

Good progress team!!!

Meeting 10/27/09

Today our group met and combined our annotated bibliography. Now we just need to figure out how we are supposed to submit it...

We are meeting next Thursday with our slideshows finished and our individual presentations ready to deliver. Our order will be Intro (Becca) then Becca, Miah, Adam, Conclusion (Adam). We will discuss what our intro and conclusion will be, combine our power points, and then pick out a day to present!

Hey group,

Hope everyone's break is going great! Becca, thanks for the updates and the link for the bibliography. Do you guys want to decide on a single slide format for the presentation? I have made mine already, and they're pretty great if I may say so myself, but I was curious as to if we want to all just conform to one style to provide a sense of fluidity throughout the PowerPoint presentation.

We can discuss this on Tuesday if you guys want but I thought it might make stuff easier if we all came into the meeting with a consistent style of slide completed. Maybe you two went over this during the meeting that I missed. If so, I'm sorry this post is wasting your time. Just a thought!

See you guys on Tuesday! I really think this presentation is going to turn out great!

-MIAH

Reminder!

Hey group! Hope you are enjoying your fall break, but don't forget that we are meeting on Tuesday! See my last post for what you should have completed.

Here is the link for how to create an annotaed bibliography if you lost it:

And here is what mine looks like if you would like an example! (Both of my sources came from journal articles found by Nexis Lexius academic, so if you have sources from a different kind of resource it should look a little different.)

Annotated Bibliography
Graham, Jefferson. Facebook’s a great friend to businesses; it’s great for word-of-mouth advertising with customers. USA Today. August 5, 2009. Money Section, Pg. 3B.

This article describes how facebook has become so much more than just a social network for friends for a wonderful business playing field. It describes how businesses can create pages for their businesses, how many followers they attract, and the opportunities for advertising that come up from facebook business pages. It also describes how attractive facebook is for marketers: it allows you to pick and choose who sees your add and has a unique pay-per-click payment system.

Bowser, Jacquie. Facebook gives advertisers own profiles with new ad system. Brand Republic News Releases. November 8, 2007.

This article details the different ways how facebook users see business’s ads and profile pages. It describes how people can become fans of a business’s profile and details different social ads (like if someone reviews a restaurant on facebook) users can see as well. It also includes many useful quotes from Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of facebook, on why he thinks businesses can be successful on facebook and their future on facebook.

Meeting on October 14th

Today our group meet to go over our outlines and make sure we did not have any overlap of content. Everyone's outline of their topic looked fine, so we are planning on meeting the Tuesday after Fall Break (October 26th) with our annotated bibliography completed and any slides we want to use during the presentation done. After we go over that we will come up with our intro and conclusions. That week we will practice giving our presentation, and then after that we just have to pick a date to give it!
