If you'd like to get better at blogging and all things "new media," you might want to check out the new SJSU Technology & Emerging Media Club.
Organized by a group of JMC students who took Jour 163 - New Media in Journalism last semester, the club is open to all SJSU students...and their friends.
"There's a lot of interesting individuals on campus," said JMC student Andrew Venegas, one of the club's founders, "and we would like them all to be involved in this historic step towards new education using new techologies and media."
The next meeting is 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 21, in Room 116 of the old Clark Library (now the Academic Success Center).
Here's the meeting agenda:
- How to start a blog using the Blogger engine
- What a tag is and how it can be used in a post
- What an RSS feed is
You can also access a set of videos to practice or clarify the techniques discussed at the meeting, and join the club blog for updates and posts.
Since I believe this club could be very helpful to JMC students, as an added bonus I'm offering my students extra credit for participating in these meetings (5 pts./mtg., up to 15 points). Hope to see you there!
