Your blog serves as a journal of your thinking, research, study, exercises, and development throughout the semester. It is an extremely important part of this course. By the end of the semester, it will have become effectively a record of everything you did during the course.
In your blog you should record your critical responses and thoughts to all of the lectures, readings, web sites, field trips and student presentations.
Writing in your blog is not like a formal paper. It is more like a journal or sketchbook. Do not attempt to write extremely long entries, do not attempt to make the writing perfect. The important thing is to think hard and deeply and to record your thoughts. In addition to your text, include pictures, drawings, links, sketches -- anything at all that will help you think and help convey what you are thinking.
Blog pages must be accessible to all students in the class, so your blog page also serves as a way for you to get feedback from other students in the class. Do not password-protect your blog. Your blog page for this course must be separate from other blogs you may have. It can be embedded within another blog, but it must have a separate link so that we can easily access your entries that are specific to this course.
Your blog is the most important tool and assignment for this course. It will be graded twice - at the mid-point of the semester, and then again at the end of the semester.
Blog assignments are due by Monday 5:00pm. Late posts will result in reduced grades.
