1. Improving Professional Profiles (4 pts.):
Check and finish the description of your profile as a graduated architect or urban planner in your personal page in wikispaces.
 * Write an introduction of who you are as professional in the fields of architecture and/or urbanism.
 * Explain where you graduated, and when.
 * Write about your after-graduate studies (postgraduate). Explain where you got your Master Degree or Specialization and in what specific field of studies.

 * Remember to upload some images to make your wiki page more attractive to your audience. Don't forget to insert your Logo!
 * Once your paragraph is ready, copy it and paste it to Moodle in the corresponding Forum (Professional Profile: Edited Version) and wait for teacher's correction.
 * When your Professional profile has been corrected, go to **VOX O POP** and record it. Sec. 02 go to: [], and Sec. 04 to:  [] . Wait for teacher's feedback. Once your recording is corrected, record a final version of it and post it to your wiki page under your Professional Profile paragraph.


 * Go to our Collaborative Wiki.
 * Create a new page. Use your first name plus the word Glossary (e.g. Maga's Glossary). This page will serve to help you to keep a record of the unknown words or the ones you are going to learn during the course. To keep a Glossary is one of the best ways to increase your vocabulary. Each word will be an entry. Then you will write its definition. Finally you will write a sentence to show that you understood the meaning of the word and you know how to use it correctly. If you want, you can include a __**small**__ picture to illustrate the meaning of the word.
 * **Be aware that this page will be an important part of your Final Project!** Thus, ** don't forget to work on it! **


 * 3. Start thinking about....**



Write your thoughts down and save them for later use!
 * ...the content you would like your online magazine to have.
 * ...the audience (readers) you would like to have.
 * ...the name you would like for your online magazine.
 * ...the sponsors you want in your e-zine.



4. Homework (5 pts.):
Now that you have worked on corrections, read about descriptives paragraphs, and thought about your e-zine, it's time to start writing the first draft of your e-zine description. This is what you have to do: Then, think about the kind of magazine you would like to design as your final project for ID2124: Now you are ready to start working on your first draft: Naming and describing your e-zine. Finally, once all the correction process is done, you are ready to do the first recording of your e-zine description. To do that, Sec. 02 go to: [], and Sec. 04 to:  []. Once this first recording is corrected, a final version will be recorded again and posted to your wiki page **(3 pts.)**.
 * Search the web and look for any online magazines or journals related to your area of study.
 * Have a look at those magazines to have a better idea about what you would like your e-zine to be.
 * What are the topics that interest you the most (based on your professional profile)
 * What type of information would you like to publish in your e-zine?
 * Give a **name** to **your e-zine**, ** be creative! **
 * **Write** a **descriptive paragraph** in which you clearly state **what your magazine will be about**.
 * Design a __**new logo**__ for your magazine and add it to your personal page in our collaborative wikispace.
 * Write your magazine description and upload it to the corresponding forum in Moodle so that the teacher can give you feedback on that.
 * Publish your e-zine description and logo in our collaborative wiki personal page ONLY after it has beed corrected by the teacher and edited by you.

First hour:
1. Search the web again to look for any online magazines or journals related to your area of study. 2. Notice that these types of magazines, just like printed magazines need to have advertisements. Why is it important for a magazine to have ads? 3. What is a “displayed ad”, do you know? What are its characteristics? 4. Go to [|www.onelook.com], and search for the meanings of these words: (Discuss the meanings of those two words as a whole-class discussion) 5. Navigate some online journals, look at the display ads they have, and try to see **what they have in common**, regarding images and texts. 6. For more information on the characteristics of display ads, [|check this site]. For previewing some examples of Displayed ads, click [|here].
 * Advertisement
 * Display
 * **[|Metropolis Magazine]**
 * **[|Architectural Record]**
 * **[|Planetizen]**

Second hour:
7. Now that you are an expert in display ads, your task is that of creating a display ad announcing an architectural / urban design product. You can use Power Point, Paint, [|Groupboard] or [|Gliffy] – Professor Dafne González recommends "**Gliffy**, and "Groupboard" Why don’t you try them out? 8. Once your display ad is ready to be shown to the public, post it to your personal page in wikispaces. With **Groupboard**, you need to take a screenshot of your drawing, paste it to Paint, and save it as JPEG, to be able to upload it to the wiki. When you use **Gliffy**, it generates links which can be posted to the wiki directly - click on //publish// to get these links. 9. Write a commercial to promote the product in your ad!!! Post it to the corresponding Forum in Moodle for correction. 11. Once your commercial script has been corrected, record your ad in **VOX O POP**. Sec. 02 go to: [], and Sec. 04 to:  []. The corrected version will be recorded and posted to the Collaborative wiki **(3 pts.)**.
