Advanced Online Media - Session 1 - Things to do

We need to sort out various things today: 

• Set up a new blog to use on the module - or sort out an old one
• Set up Google Reader so that you can use it to tracks news in the areas you're interested in
• Set up Twitter so that you use it effectively to stay on top of news and new ideas in your areas. Remember - the best approach is to follow a lot of people and use lists so you can quickly get to the people you value most
• Set up an account with Delicious and start bookmarking interesting sites - use the tag aomedia2012 to share what you find with the rest of the class. If you find something interesting, tweet it using the hashtage #aomedia2012 so that the rest of the class can see it too

To get us started, perhaps we should work on putting together a list of the big online media/tech stories of the last week, share them via Twitter and Delicious with the rest of the class and then record what you find - with links to sources - on your blogs.
