English 420, Business Writing

Last Sunday, Natasha, Robert, and I met up in the Hicks Undergraduate Library to discuss and create our proposal to give to Mr. Woolums. Joe was not able to make it because he was in Tennesee. In the proposal, we outlined exactly what we would be doing for him and when we would have the components complete. Mark looked over our proposal in class on Monday and suggested that we change some things and find something else to do for Mr. Woolums in addition to the fliers and mailers. He also suggested a bunch of questions to ask Mr. Woolums the next time we met with him.

We had our white paper presentation last Monday. I feel we did a good job explaining our different ways of implementing new communication technologies into Knight Corporation. Our presentation had to be cut short because of time constraints so Robert wasn't able to finish his part of the presentation or show his video on social networking. The rest of the week, we watched other group presentations and attempted to get the group together to work on the final copy of the white paper.

Our memo is attached below.

Our technology presentation seemed to go very well last Wednesday. I feel that our podcast example effectively grabbed the attention of the class. That night, the group got together to work on the rough draft of the white paper. Unfortunately I was not able to be there to help, but the group was able to keep in contact with me via instant messenger. I was able to help edit some things and write a few additions to the paper and send them to the group. Joe turned the paper in on Friday. That is pretty much the gist of what I recall before spring break.

This week I feel that we got a lot accomplished. We met last week to put together our technology presentation to start outlining our white paper. We divided up the workload for the white paper because we realized that it would be tough to find time to meet with our conflicting schedules. I have a few pages typed up for my rough draft and have an idea of what I can add / take away from it after receiving feedback and input from Mr. Hannah on Thursday. I also put together a simple "example podcast" for our technology presentation.

This is the first document I found. I found it using a search of all databases at Purdue using the search term "social networking in the workplace". I think this is discussing the benefits of using or exploring social networking.
