    Blog Setup

    Posted on42 Comments

     

      We will setup our blogs Fri­day 28-Aug in class; instruc­tions below.
      — feel to mod­ify and update yours as much as you’d like!

     

    Once you cre­ate your blog, please post your link in a com­ment below.
    *This is impor­tant so I have your URL! (to update the blogroll)

      Note if you’d pre­fer your blog to be private,
      fol­low these instruc­tions — be sure to give me (and class­mates?) access
    • Rec­om­mended: you can set indi­vid­ual posts and pages to pri­vate using Vis­i­bil­ity settings

     

    In your first entry (a “post,” not a comment):

    1. briefly intro­duce your­self: need not to be extent of “Inter­est Inven­tory,” and this is pub­lic intro­duc­tion to class­mates (sug­gested your major, minor/program, and grade level; plus, any past writ­ing courses and/or your cur­rent classes and major/field area of interest.)
    2. your idea and “work­ing def­i­n­i­tion” of “world­view” and of “experience”
    3. any other inter­est­ing infor­ma­tion or media you’d like to share
    (e.g. exam­ple of some­thing “thought-provoking” you read or saw or heard?)
    or a favorite image or video, pop cul­ture form or meme from past or present?)

    “Which ulti­mately does more good—an arti­cle or mono­graph that is read by 20 or 30 peo­ple in a very nar­row field, or a blog post on a topic of inter­est to many (such as grad­ing stan­dards or tenure require­ments) that is read by 200,000?

    What if the post spurs hun­dreds of com­ments, is debated pub­licly in fac­ulty lounges and class­rooms, and gets picked up by news­pa­pers and Web sites across the country—in other words, it helps to shape the national debate over some hot-button issue? What is it worth then?”
