Tech Musing #2: Some Comments from Tech Musing #1

For Tech Musing #2, you will post your articles on this blog (not a comment to this post), or on VoiceThread.  No submissions on Blackboard.

Before Tech Musing #2 gets underway, you should read the comments I posted on your blogs and on Blackboard for Tech Musing #1.  Yes, I re-read those, too.  Sometimes your grade changed; sometimes it didn't.  Here are some lessons to keep in mind:
  1. Provide a link.  Points deducted for not having a link that is readable from the beginning to the end of the article (without having to join a website to read the full article). 
  2. Make sure the article is current!  This wasn't explicit in the description, but I'm making it explicit now.  
  3. Provide a sufficient summary of the article.  I read them, too.  If the article has detail, provide that in the summary. 
  4. Make sure your implications actually fit the article you just read.  For example, don't assume that everything has project management implications, if the article doesn't mention it.  
  5. Read what others have posted, so you don't use the same blog post.  Points go to the first blog.  Also, comment on what others have posted.  You get credit for commenting, too. 
  6. Some of you followed up on my comments, but not many.  I am willing to be convinced about your points, if you want to offer them, or answer my questions.
Finally, we want to learn something new!  The good articles explored new technologies in different contexts, and that were current.  It can be anything that students in MIS will find interesting. Remember, a tech musing can be about "How or why the information is helpful to you as an MIS professional," OR "How or why you think it is important for MIS students to know and understand to make them better citizens."

Stop googling and read the blogs and links provided here, or find it on other links.  Teach us something.  Be entertaining.   Stop worrying about the perfect rubric.  Follow these steps and you'll be just fine.  Comment here if you have other questions about this post.
