=Week One: January 28th=

Class Introduction and Syllabus Review

Assignments:

Purchase the class texts as soon as possible, as readings from the texts are due starting next week. The first week's readings are from Cory Doctorow's Content, so you can opt not to purchase a physical copy and read those sections online. You should complete the readings below and post your Wiki Introduction by class time on **February 4th.**

Readings:

Cory Doctorow, Content: Happy Meal Toys versus Copyright; You DO Like Reading Off A Computer Screen; It's the Information Economy, Stupid

Wiki Introduction:

If you have not already done so, request permission to join the class wiki community. This will give you the ability to edit and create pages, and the class wiki will expand as the semester continues. You will also be responsible for checking the wiki regularly as assignments and readings will be linked from the homepage.

Create a new page on the wiki named with your first name and last initial to be your home base for the class. Edit the page to include:
 * A link to your website if applicable
 * Your program of study
 * A paragraph describing your favorite video game and the influence it has had on you
 * Your career goals

When you have finished your new page, link it in to the wiki by adding it as a link from the students page. You can accomplish this using the chain link symbol on your editor. This tool allows you to easily link pages within the wiki by listing the name of the page you created. For future assignments you will be exanding this home base and linking your contributions on other pages on the site.
