Official ending of the weekly blog assignments

An old album for stamp collectors--an image from the old days when all words were written instead of electronic.

The last blog assignment, posted last Sunday, 9/30, is due by midnight tonight. There have been five formal assignments. If you haven’t responded to them all, please do so! This week, I will hand out in class the instructions and the rubric for the Blog Reflection. If you haven’t already done so, read the entries posted by your fellow class members in preparation for your Reflection. I will keep the blog open for the semester and we may continue the online conversation. I’ve enjoyed this experiment and feel it was successful for the following reasons:


  • It allowed people who (like myself in a classroom situation) don’t always feel comfortable speaking up in person to also contribute to the discussions
  • It provided another way to communicate besides our in-class work, my lectures, and the textbook readings
  • It furnished a greater variety of voices than what was possible in the classroom situation through the links to other websites, blogs, and authors.


Thank you all for your good work in these assignments!
