Welcome to Week 1 of MCOM 350
Hello, Communicators!
This week's objectives:
1. Get to know your classmates
2. Discover your path to working remotely
3. Take time to understand how working remotely (online) is different from working in person.
4. Learn to puke on the page.
This week's assignments:
1. Fill out the Google Slide
2. List the 5 words on Google Classroom, reply to two classmates, write a paragraph detailing what you think about the patterns you see in everyone's reply.
3. Do your first puke.
This week we will be getting to know one another. To start our process, go to this Google Slides link fill out a Google Slide introducing yourself to the class. Include one photo or graphic that you think best describes who you are - as you will see mine is a photo of my reading glasses, notebook, and special pen.
Forbes magazine claims that 50% of the US workforce will be remote in the coming years. This is a good resource article. Read it and see if it influences how you respond to questions on the assignments.
This is why it is important to learn how you communicate online and in a remote environment.
As I type this I am sitting outside on my back deck with my dog and the birds are singing. Some companies have employees work this way all the time, others work this way a few days per week.
Because of all this time working virtually or remotely, it is important to get to know your co-workers, or in this class, your classmates. One of the ways we will do this is the answer to the chat question this week --
"What five words express what you want to do and where you want to be five years from now?" What patterns do you observe in the responses? Write a paragraph that addresses what you observe.
Before you answer your five-word response I would ask you to puke on the page. What does that mean? Check out the video.
Now go to the assignments page and look at the work due this week.
Here is the link to the assignment page.
The sooner you do the work the sooner everyone else can read and respond and get their work done. This is an important part of working remotely - not waiting until the last second of the deadline to finish.
