Day 2: “We are all Media!" Tuesday, 5 February 2013 (NOTE: Download file to play audio narration) For our second day, we will continue the discussion of communication technologies as devices used to attain specific goals, including goals related to sharing and obtaining information, building relationships, persuading others (or persuading ourselves) and entertaining others (and ourselves).
