Intro to blogging

Hi everyone!

This is going to be our class blog. On the first day of class, we will generate a schedule for who is posting when. Your posts should include a form of media that relates to the texts we will be discussing in class for the day you are blogging. It is my hope that this class blog will help you to make links between what we discuss in class and what you perceive in the world around you, so you can make whatever connections you want as long as you explain them thoughtfully. Media can include still images, links to news stories, videos, advertisements, a photograph of a billboard you saw while driving, etc. I encourage you to be both thoughtful and imaginative in the media you choose. Your description of the media itself and the connection you are making to course material should be at least one paragraph (5 sentences) long and you should be clear about what texts you are connecting to your media. If you have questions about blogging, you are responsible for contacting me at least 24 hours before your blog entry is due. On days that you are not responsible for an entry, you are responsible for reading the entries of your classmates - they will be available at least 24 hours before class. You cannot count blog entries toward your 2 required texts on weekly responses, though you may reference them in addition to the 2 texts if you would like.

I look forward to reading your entries!
