Privacy and You

There was a moment in class when I realized that students are interested in the news and particularly, news around social media companies (Shout out to Patricia Smith for knowing about Cambridge Analytica ). So I dug up some good articles on the subject so we can all be more informed citizens. Please read the following and answer the questions in the Google Form. Then write a 1-2 paragraph reflection on the topic of privacy in the Comment section of this post. Is it important to you or are you ok with companies using your data without your permission? 1) Read these two articles:  Section 1: https://www.salon.com/2014/10/30/im_terrified_of_my_new_tv_why_im_scared_to_turn_this_thing_on_and_youd_be_too/ Section 2: https://www.govtech.com/security/There-is-No-Such-Thing-as-True-Privacy-in-the-Digital-Age.html  2) Answer questions on the Google Form attached to the Classroom post. - 20 points 3) 1-2 paragraph reflection on the topic of privacy.- 20 points

How to give a killer presentation

Giving presentations is hard. Many of us are extremely uncomfortable speaking in front of an audience. It takes practice and skill. Here are some helpful tips. Excerpts from:  https://hbr.org/2013/06/how-to-give-a-killer-presentation Frame your story We all know that humans are wired to listen to stories, and metaphors abound for the narrative structures that work best to engage people. When I think about compelling presentations, I think about taking an audience on a journey. A successful talk is a little miracle—people see the world differently afterward.

Or you can memorize your talk, which entails rehearsing it to the point where you internalize every word—verbatim. Develop Stage Presence ...
