This week’s multimedia:
Number 1 (in class)
Background on the video. Relevant on many levels — catch the technology reference? We’ll talk more about McLuhan later in the quarter.
Number 2 (on your own!)
Century 21 Calling (also mpg4)
This week’s peer group discussion of readings:
- How is Christensen’s model of adoption affected by decisions at the business enterprise level — iow, customers (employees) are required to use technologies purchased by the business? Think about appliances in rental units or spec homes. :)
- Why haven’t all authoritarian regimes rigorously controlled how their property is delivered on YouTube?
- How has your mobile phone affected (+/-) your personal and professional relationships? Why do you own a mobile phone? How old is it?
- What values or biases impede our ability to fail to see opportunities in emerging technologies?
- How does the current software development cycle (add more features with each iteration) fit into Christensen’s theories?
Process for Week 4
(Group 1 is the first group to lead discussion)
- Group 1 has an extra reading. Plus, each member finds a scholarly article that fits the topic.
- Prepare abstract & citation
- Prepare PPT (or some structured presentation) that links readings/theme for the week
- Class will be divided into small groups
- Round-robin discussion – approximately 15-20 minutes (present & discuss)
- All info posted to blog
