Instant Messaging (Summer)

 

Lecture/Coffee Talk:

 

 Lecture(s)/Demo(s):

 

 Steve Notes:

  • I LOVE IM
  • This will be one of the ways I will be encouraging you to look for help
  • You already have some of the accts you'll need
  • Be Brief (shorter messages = better messages)
  • No Caps

 

  Some Quick Statistics**:

  •  75% of online teens IM
  •  42% of online adults IM
  •  50% of IMing teens (32% of all teens) IM every single day

 

  Definition(s):

  • Instant Messaging (often abbreviated simply to IM) offers real-time communication and allows easy collaboration, which might be considered more akin to genuine conversation than email's "letter" format. In contrast to e-mail, the parties know whether the peer is available. Most systems allow the user to set an online status or away message so peers are notified when the user is available, busy, or away from the computer. On the other hand, people are not forced to reply immediately to incoming messages. For this reason, some people consider communication via instant messaging to be less intrusive than communication via phone. However, some systems allow the sending of messages to people not currently logged on (offline messages), thus removing much of the difference between Instant Messaging and email.

  • Add my meebo account (librarysteve) to your meebo buddy list (yes, you'll need to make a meebo acct, _ _scils598x08)
    • You may also want to add me as a buddy via Yahoo (librarysteve) as that is the principal network that I use
  • Add your classmates to your meebo buddy list * (optional: also to your favorite IM client)

 

*there were some meebo to meebo problems last semester, I'd advise you to exchange some other IM addresses as well

Suggestions

(Your area to make any suggestions as to how this is taught/what is taught)

 

sg

Students could add their screenname to their blog info, etc during the next few lessons.

Also, adding their SN in a signature in an email

 

ks

Most Skype recorder programs have an "answering machine" feature, so it could be used as a comment/suggestion line for a podcast. Powergramo, Pamela both have that feature.

 

pg - Steve, please do consider doing something with Skype this summer. It would be useful.

  sg - 27 people...lots of topics, lots of sites...suggestion? incorporate Skype into your final, we can gab if needed...
