Instructions for Class - 10/4/12


In case you missed the announcement on Tuesday, Dr. Knutson will be wandering hither and yon today, so class will be held online rather than in our regular classroom. You will receive credit for class attendance by submitting comments while watching the live broadcast. Read the following instructions carefully so you'll be able to participate: 

Viewing the Broadcast
Dr. Knutson will be broadcasting class using Google+ Hangouts On Air. In order to view the broadcast, you will need to go to Dr. K's Google+ page. The broadcast will begin at 1:35 and will be in the form of a live YouTube video in Dr. K's stream. Please be on time to view the broadcast—don't wait until 1:35 to open up your laptop. 

Submitting Comments
We'll be using Twitter and Twubs to track class discussion. Twubs is a great tool that collects tweets with a common hashtag in one place and allows you to follow the conversation that will be happening among your classmates. If you have a Twitter account, use the hashtag #cs404 to submit your comments. If, for whatever reason, you don't want to have a Twitter account, you have two options: (1) Set up a Twubs.com account and post your comments directly on the #cs404 Twub page, or (2) Email your comments to the TAs and we will post them for you on the page as soon as we receive them. Whatever method you choose, please be watching the Twubs page during the broadcast so you can actively observe and participate in the conversation.
