Stay strong in the struggle

To my students:

Do not be harsh on yourself if you are having difficulty with blogging.  There is a learning curve whenever you learn a new skill.  Do not evaluate your learning based on how quickly others are mastering this new skill; evaluate yourself on your effort and where you are today versus where you were the first day of the term.

We have been talking some about what a blog is during class.   The fact that blogs are in reverse chronological order with the newest post first.  That blogs should contribute to the conversation by either continuing the conversation (from another source) or contributing new information.  Anton Zuiker posted a blog entry that shows the anatomy of a blog that you might find helpful.

My purpose in assigning you to write a blog was for you to learn while doing.   Your blog should be veiwed as a sandbox: A place to play, create, and show off your learning.  Feel free to change your blog's look or topic as you wish.  Your grade is based on your effort and learning experience.
