The assignment information posted by the Instructor :

The tools used for business communication have been undergoing profound changes over the past 10+ years. You need to know how to use the traditional tools and to be aware of these new ones to be effective in whatever organization you aspire to work for. This team assignment will introduce some of the ones you are less familiar with and also encourage you to explore how organizations use them.

In addition to Google Documents, the author also introduces many other forms of electronic messaging and digital media, most newer with business uses still evolving (IM, SMS, podcastswebcasts, blogs, RSS, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Pinterest, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Discus, SnapChat, Groupon, LivingSocial, and many other” Web 2.0″ tools).

You will start a team exercise that involves following organizations and seeing how they use some of these tools for communication. Each team will do a “social media audit” of a variety of entities. Your audit should include which social networks are currently being used, how they are utilizing it, and how often. The audit needs to include all the main types of platforms, so some will not be used by all of them. Each team should do a retail chain, restaurant chain, professional sports group, non-profit group, and entertainer or program.

This site has a good description of an audit and how to conduct one. It even has instructions on columns to use in a Google sheet for the audit. “How to Conduct a Social Media Audit in Just 30 Minutes” https://neilpatel.com/blog/social-media-audit/ (Links to an external site.)

This blog entry from Hootsuite (one of the social media management platforms) also offers a good synopsis of how and why to conduct an audit https://blog.hootsuite.com/social-media-audit-template/ (Links to an external site.)

Teams will prepare a final report [details below] explaining different ways organizations are using these tools. To start, get together with your team and decide what organizations and tools you follow. ** If you do not have one already, create an account on Twitter (Twitter.com). Please “follow” me [mgmtinstr09]. I post a lot of articles etc. related to the class and businesses.

It is time to test each other!

In this Discussion, you are going to come up with questions about using the simple present and/or the present progressive tense. You will answer at least one question from your classmates as well as suggest a question of your own. Here is how it will work:

First entry–ask a question . . .

Before Thursday you must post a question about these tenses to this Discussion (make sure you know the correct answer!)

Example: How do you change, “Kim plants a bean in the garden,” to present progressive?

or

How can you make, “Ana asks Wendell to water the bean,” a question?

Second entry–answer a question . . .

On Thursday or after, you must answer one or more of your classmates’ questions!

Example: Kim plants a bean in the garden “Kim is planting a bean in the garden.”

Ana asks Wendell to water the bean “Why does Ana ask Wendell to water the bean?”

You may write more than one question.

FOLLOW DIRECTION OF EACH LAB IN ATTACHMENT! IT WILL DETAIL YOU EVERYTHING STEP BY STEP SO IT SHOULB BE PRETTY EASY.

LAB 1

What you’ll achieve:

• Deploy a VPC
• Deploy an EC2 with CentOS Linux
• Install a simple Apache Web server
• Create an S3 bucket, place files in it, and set permissions
• Create a simple Web page to link to your file’s URL

What you’ll turn in with this lab:

• A URL to the Web page containing the link to your file in S3 (not a direct link to the file in your S3 bucket);
• Short answers to the review questions from each Task.

NOTE: You MUST have an AWS Free Tier account to do this Lab, and should have set one up as part of previous class announcements. If you do not already have an AWS Free Tier account, please sign up for one at https://aws.amazon.com/free/ (Links to an external site.) prior to starting this Lab.

LAB 2

Our second Lab will focus primarily on Auto Scaling, one of the most powerful features in AWS and any cloud computing platform, that allows you to horizontally “scale out” additional resources when your static resources are under duress. This allows your systems to remain online perpetually, achieving “high availability” and not succumbing to heavy traffic like an on-premises environment might.

In the previous Lab, you set up a web server infrastructure that accessed files on an external file server (S3). While we won’t necessarily utilize your Web site in a highly-available fashion, we will use the instance you’ve already created in Lab #1 as a baseline for creating our AMIs and Launch Configurations in support of this Auto Scaling Lab.

What you’ll achieve:

• Create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from the EC2 instance you deployed in Lab #1
• Create a Launch Configuration from this AMI
• Configure an Auto Scaling Group from your Launch Configuration, to automatically deploy additional instances when the CloudWatch Alarm is triggered
• Create said CloudWatch Alarms that monitor instance CPU utilization
• Use a stress-testing tool to create fake load and force an Auto Scaling event
• Terminate resources from both Lab #1 and #2 to prevent your credit card from being charge

What you’ll turn in with this lab:

• Detailed answers to the review questions from each Task.
