28 times. Reply to your classmates tweets at least two times a week for a total of at least
28 times. Feel free to reply more!

5. Adhere to the following guidelines:
Add a profile photo to your account.
Always use the hashtag #engl2269 when posting and replying.
Add other descriptive hashtags that apply to your post or reply.
When replying on Twitter use @ symbol and username of person you are replying
to.
All posts and replies should be related to the course topic. Your tweets should
demonstrate your engagement with the course readings, in-class discussions, or
draw attention to the significance of relevant stories in the news about digital
media.
Questions or comments about assignment requirements, what is due, when it is
due, questions or requests about assignments to me or others, and general
comments that do not substantively contribute to a discussion of the subject of
digital media will not count as part of your 56 tweets.
I will stream a live Twitter feed on the projector screen throughout class, so I
encourage you to tweet during class. I will also be posting questions and comments
for you to respond to.
Think analytically about your posts. Use descriptive hashtags (#) and the short
length of posts strategically. For photos originally taken on Instagram, consider the
composition of the photographs you take and your use of filters and how that
affects the viewers conception of the image.
