Get Ready to Blog!

Here are the essential links for you to start your blogging. The first is the Blog Assignment Sheet. Here you will find the assignment with all of the embedded links to start blogging and make sure your blogs are being graded.

Second, you'll need the Blog Comment Form every week you post a comment. Your comments will be graded based on your timely submission!

The survey for me to give you your grade is here!

A Blogging Community


Blogs should engender an online community. We have been doing a good job regularly writing blogs, but for a lot of students, comments are still missing or underdeveloped. In order to remedy this, I am going to have you skip writing a blog this week. Instead of writing a post, you are going to comment on someone else's blog post.

Your blog comment should be interesting and show the author that you are really engaging in the content of the post. Comments that only speak to the relationship you have with the writer (aka You're the best!) will not be accepted for credit. Asking questions or supplying your own point-of-view on the topic are great ways to provide feedback to other students. A disrespectful or mean post will earn you an automatic 0.

After you make your comment, complete this form and you will receive credit.
