What’s Important in using this blog

Read the course requirements for posting – in VistaBB

Each week that there is a reading assignment you are to submit a short discussion of all the articles you’ve read.  Here are suggestions about what you want to include.

  • The title of the articles you’re referring to – you can assume that students may look them up in the reference database in GDocs – Submission formresults.
  • Connections between the articles.
  • Relationship of these articles to what other students have written (remember you’re supposed to read at least three).
  • How what you’ve read illuminates what else we’ve done in the class or your own field.

Mechanics of Posting

  • Be sure to apply “categories” (often called tags or labels) to your posts to make it easy for others to look at related topics.
  • Make liberal use of links to other blog posts and sources (e.g. Here’s a link to the “welcome” post and one to the other “official” course blog)
  • Windows Live Writer is a very good, free, tool for posting to blogs.
