The first day of class is done. The students seem to be energetic and interesting in learning the variety of things we are going to cover in class. We went over the syllabus in detail, everyone knows exactly what is on it.
Changed the self introduction portion of the class. Gave the students about 15 minutes to write about themselves and then I read it out to the class. I learned a lot about the students and the objective is for them to learn about each other as well. The process of my reading took longer than anticipated so it will flow over to the next class. I try to use the introductions of students as a way to introduce concepts that they touch on in their stories. We will need to take more time to finish up the last few next week.
We did not get to the "What is Communication Design?" slide show so I will do that at the beginning of the next class. Use this to make sure everyone gets the breadth of the field we are introducing to them through DGC.
Next week we will then jump into the AIM lecture and then send out students with the AIM exercise.
Until the next time...

I think it would be better if you chose a single place as the origin for the lexicon. You could, however, define some things that have different meanings in different cultures. So, if it is a PIG and you have two or three different meanings from different cultures then I think it will be interesting for you and for me. Don't, however, just randomly bounce from one culture to another.
