Goods news, I think! The Communications Plan is NOT a Gateway project. I checked with Manhattanville this morning. But you will be graded. By the way, my last day for turning in grades will be next Thursday, Jan. 21st.

Thanks! Evelyn

Sorry for all the grim news, but here is a Twitter feed put together by someone that includes all the tweets going on today by people Twittering from within 100 kilometers of Port au Prince. The tool is a valuable communication device during disasters.

This is kind of interesting. eSchoolNews is always sponsoring free webinars about education and technology. If you know someone in your district who needs to learn more about communications, let them know that these are free.

Hi everyone:

If you have a chance, check out the Twitter feed on the Haiti earthquake. Just one example of how Twitter is being used these days. Here's The Washington Post link: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/livecoverage/2010/01/haiti_earthquake_twitter_feeds.html

Hi all:

LinkedIn. Try joining. So far, Lauren, Stephanie, Sergio and Craig are on. What's holding you up? It's a very simple tool, folks.


 * Hi everyone:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: In case you haven't read your email yet, I wanted to let you know that Manhattanville has graciously moved us from the very cold Room 108 to Room 130 in Brownson.

I've added something new to the wiki, PR Efforts in Your Districts, in the left hand column. Check out the Blind Brook schools winter newsletter and come to class with your first impressions. Do this only if you have a spare minute!!** I **will be adding other examples from your districts as we go along!**

Welcome to the Manhattanville communications and public relations class wiki!

If you are not familiar with working in a wiki, you can always go to the help button at the top of the page to get directions or a tutorial. This is a simple site to use, however, and a great way for you to familiarize yourself with Web 2.0 communications tools.

Check out the tabs across the top of the page, and the individual pages listed in the left-hand column.

Please watch for assignments by class date (in the left margin) to get updated assignments, links and readings for the class. It's important to keep up with the readings, so try not to fall behind.

The Discussions tab is where you can start discussions on a variety of topics related to class materials, team projects, etc. You can also use that tab to ask general questions of me and/or your classmates. Please check the Discussions tab frequently because I'll be starting some discussions as well.
