Today we are primarily focused on workshopping your memos, which we’ll do in stages.<\/p>\n

First, you’ll first\u00a0spend 5 minutes individually\u00a0reading Group 1’s memo and data. Next, you’ll spend 5 more minutes\u00a0sharing your thoughts in small groups and commenting on the memo. We’ll then reconvene as a large group for 5 more minutes to debrief. We’ll repeat this process with Group 2 and so on.\u00a0Because I uploaded each\u00a0memo\u00a0to Google Docs, you should be able to make comments and edits right in the doc, which everyone can see. I’ll show you how to use these features\u00a0before we start. Here are the memos and data:<\/p>\n

Group 1 –social media in the workplace: [memo<\/a>] [data<\/a>]
\nGroup 2 –cloud-based options: [memo<\/a>] [data<\/a>]
\nGroup 3 –video conferencing: [memo<\/a>] [data<\/a>]
\nGroup 4 –online collaboration sites\/software: [memo<\/a>] [data<\/a>]
\nGroup 5 –web design: [memo<\/a>] [data<\/a>]<\/p>\n

As you read these, consider\u00a0the following process:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, individually read the data a few times. Then, ask yourself: what does the data say? What does it not say? That is, what can it not<\/em> tell me?<\/li>\n
  2. Then, read through the memo. What does the group focus on? Was is the same points you saw? Different? In other words, how did\u00a0the group interpret this data? Do you agree with it? \u00a0Are\u00a0there are there alternative explanations for the data?\u00a0Does the data ever make interpretation difficult? \u00a0Discuss these questions in your small groups.<\/li>\n
  3. Finally, think about how you might actually use<\/em> this data as someone who will be graded on making a case for a certain kind of tech briefing. Would this memo be helpful in making that case? Let this question guide many of your comments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
