Hello Journalism Class! Welcome to our class blog.
The purpose for this blog is to provide you all with a model or
example of a blog to refer to as we progress through the blogging unit.
It will also help us move our class discussions and exchange of ideas
into the virtual realm … This blog will be a “meta blog” – a “blog
about blogging” — and will serve as a resource for you as we progress
through this unit.
- Assignments will be posted to the blog
- You can contact me through commenting on the blog
- You can ask questions to the entire class through the blog
Blogging is a fantastic tool people can use to build virtual
communities, and make connections with others without having to actually
see or talk to them in person. My hope is by helping you all creating
blogs about topics that are about TOPICS THAT ARE IMPORTANT AND RELEVANT
to you, you will be able to further develop and share your interests
with other (through researching and posting on your site) and learn
about our classmates’ interests.
This is a fun and creative unit. The goals are:
- For students to become aware of and comfortable interacting in the “blogosphere”
- Gain technical/practical knowledge about how to administer a blog
- Build a creative outlet where students can explore their areas of personal interest
- Develop writing, editing and graphic design skills
- MOST IMPORTANTLY: this is meant to be fun!! You will learn more about yourselves and each other!
If, at ANY POINT, you’re confused or bored or want to take the
material we cover in class in a slightly different direction, definitely
bring that up with me (either in person, or online). As is always the
case, assignments are GUIDELINES, not LAWS WRITTEN IN STONE. Don’t be
scared to share your own vision.
Now, let’s get started
