DVD of trailers to play at Wednesday's Celebration of Student Writing (http://faculty.tamu-commerce.edu/scarter/csw_invitation.html ).

If you'd like to have your trailer included in this DVD and haven't already gotten that to me, please get it to me by Monday. We'll be pulling that together Monday and Tuesday.

We'd love to have you join us Wednesday, as well. Celebration of Student Writing: Part I will be on Wednesday, May 13, from 2:30-4:00. Come on by our table and help drum up business for the next day's celebration in the library. YOUR celebration. The Celebration of Writing with New Media!

Phase I

Last week a general invitation went out to the campus on our various listservs. See "invitation" below," which linked to two pages: one for each part of this two-day celebration:

Part I: First-Year Researchers: http://faculty.tamu-commerce.edu/scarter/csw_invitation.html
Part II: Writing with New Media--http://faculty.tamu-commerce.edu/scarter/CLiC/clic-csw.htm

I'm following up with personal invitations to key administrators across campus.


Phase II

So I have developed a program for the event (using second life), which will be distributed across the campus Monday and also to key administrators.

As soon as I get your revision suggestions for the program (especially your abstract and title) and embed code for additional trailers, I'll add those to the invitation, now at http://faculty.tamu-commerce.edu/scarter/CLiC/clic-events.htm

I'd like that by the end of the day today, if possible. We can send those around Monday.

Phase III: Video Invitation

This is in progress. I'll share a little from the introduction. Get me images or footage you'd like for me to include.

I'd like to send this around the campus and to key administrators by very late Tuesday or very early Wednesday.

Here's a draft of the introduction, made with this VERY fun (and free!) program called xtranormal (xtranormal.com).

Phase IV: Advertising Live (at the Celebration of Student Writing in the MRC the day before our 597 event)

On Wednesday, from 2:30 to 4:00, our CLiC team will be at a table promoting both CLiC and the upcoming Celebration of Writing with New Media.

They will also be taking interviews for the National Conversation on Writing. (www.ncow.org).

We'd like to share your trailers there, as well. So all the more reason to get them to us:

1. Upload them somewhere and embed them, so I can post them to the online invitation.
2. Give me a sharper copy we can bring onto a DVD and share at this event the day before our own.

Getting Ready for our Celebration (Week 15 Agenda)

1. Check out the event program and the CLiC events page for inaccuracies and missing items. I will make changes before sharing the CLiC events page with the campus. I hope to be able to share by Friday, so get those changes to me before the end of class today.

2. To http://faculty.tamu-commerce.edu/scarter/CLiC/clic-events.htm , I would like to add all your trailers. To make that happen, please either upload the video to YouTube or other video sharing site or give me a copy which I can then upload and add to the page. The only trailer I had to embed--already online--was Mindy's. I can also link to your blogs, if they are ready to share. Just let me know.

3. Dry run today! Be ready to share your projects. Let's keep the show as close to five minutes as possible, though it may run closer to 10. We have 13 projects to share, some of them very short and some quite a bit longer.

4. At some point during class today we'll have to fit in your evaluations. More on that soon.
