Blog assignment:
Create an ongoing blog presence you will update weekly throughout the semester.
In your blog, you can reflect on something we read, did or learned recently. Or you can write about your role in some collaborative human process (e.g., cooperation, leadership, the flow of information, the patterns of talk, group-based roles, or decision-making processes) you are engaged in, online or not, and how it feels to you. You can be creative; this is your blog.
1. By Thursday each week: Write one original reflection of at least 150 words in your own Blogger blog. Include:
- An image that is legal for online reuse, linked and attributed in a caption. See the image above for an example and watch this video to learn about finding and attributing images.
- At least one link (like my video link just above!). If you are discussing a reading we have done, try to find a public link to the reading or to information about it.
You will be graded at the midterm and at the end of the semester on this assignment. Your grade will be based on your following of the requirements, first and foremost. You will also be graded on your knowledge and insights around course activities as evident in consistent blogging over the semester, including interaction with classmates’ blogs and application of course concepts to new content.
Your audience is *the world.* The world gets bored if you write for just
your class. So describe what's going on in a way outsiders can
understand. If you can find your own writing voice, please use
it. And try to think less about what your teacher wants than about what makes good online content.
Good luck! And do your best. Not only is this grades; students will vote for their favorite classmate blogs and blog posts at the end of the semester!
