I found chapter 3 of this document useful. It gives you common elements of good writing, do's and don'ts of writing styles and usage. All of the chapters are relevant for this project and provide a checklist at the end of each.

This page is more of a resource than an example of aligntment. The examples that Kayla(the author) shows looks like good examples however the resolution they were posted in makes it blurry and hard to judge. Kayla however breaks down in a few brief paragraphs how effective and important alignment is within an article, or project. One aspect that she hits on that makes a lot of sense to me is the images in alignment and how they can also be placed into alignment even though it is a photo. There is a lot more that goes into alignment that first expected. 

This site gives some interesting views on alignment and some examples that I'm not sure I like. In saying that though I really do like some of the notes for instance, that there are many points to align to on a layout. It also is much nicer to use color contrast and other features along with the alignment.

This website is very helpful when it comes to explaining alignment.  Even if you have other good elements going around your picture/website, it might look cluttered and there can be a bad use of alignment.  This website gives you examples of how to use proper alignment in pictures and on a layout by using the lines, shapes, and contrasting colors.

I like this link because it talks about International English (like in chapter 5 when we were learning about differences under the language section) on the internet

This article I found in the International Journal of Multicultural Societies. It gives some definitions of globalization (both negative and positive) and discusses whether English really is "the" language of the internet. It's fascinating to learn how different people view this issue.

D#7 HW#5 Team Writing Chapter 1&2 Article gives good suggestions about working on a college group project

D#7 HW#5 Team Writing Chapter 1&2

Good step-by-step article for effectively working with groups

Although this article is older, it gives relevent information on documentation and copyright for digital media. It outlines difficulties created by digital media such as P2P and file sharing. I found Chapters 2 and 5 helpful.

This is an interesting link that suports chapter 4 codes of ethics on page 76. The Harvard code of ethics can be found here and I think it is ethical to take this pledge upon graduation.

Here is my mindmap update for ch 1-7 (ch 5 and 7)dobrin-- plus Handbook entries, plus mindmeister blog

This website expands on the grid discussion in the textbook. It offers a template called the 960 grid system, which refers to the width of the viewport, which is the area in the browser in which the website is displayed. The height of the example template, the artboard, is three scrolls of the screen height. I found this interesting because according to the author, three is the average number of scrolls a user with an average amount of interest will scroll,

This is a very good, interesting Ph.d dissertation on Transnational Communication. My fave Chap 5 web resource ----Valerie Cooper

I like this website because it provides the necessary steps to follow when communicating around the world.

D#3 HW#6

This website gives reason as to why instructors should teach globalization in workplace.

I thought this web source would be a interesting and controversial piece.

This was the best link that I found related to transnational communication. It addresses the challenges of multicultural communication in expanding global markets, particularly with respect to the Internet. Organizations need to consider that their Internet marketing will be seen by a world-wide audience.

Wow! great in depth information. Good find.
