Requirements<\/h5>\n

This assignment is worth 30% of your final grade. You must complete a minimum of the 4 assigned blog posts and submit your best post for grading purposes. You will also complete a peer review of another group’s Interactive Learning Resource Draft which will be part of this grade.<\/p>\n

Blog Posts<\/h5>\n

Throughout the course, you will be contributing to our community on your own blogs by responding to blog prompts provided by the course instructors. You are encouraged to initiate your own posts in response to the materials and resources shared throughout the course, as well as linking out to materials and literature to support your thinking.<\/p>\n

In addition to authoring blog posts, you will be expected to contribute to the EDUC 000 community through commenting on the posts of your peers. Review the blog feed for your section, select posts of interest and provide feedback or ask questions of other authors. Set a goal for yourself of interacting with at least 2 other bloggers after a posted assignment. You should find that these interactions lead to increased traffic on your own blog, which will provide opportunities to have your thinking supported, questions to answer, and possibly new connections made.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0 recommend that you comment on others’ posts by creating a new post on your own site and including a link to the post you are commenting on. This will create a ‘trackback’ on the original post, which is just like a comment. Make sure you check the comments on you own site, because you will have to approve them before they are visible. You will see a notification in the side menu of WordPress when you have comments that need to be approved.<\/p>\n

Suggested Prompts for Comments<\/h5>\n

Please remember that these blogs are shared publicly, as are your comments. It is important to use your comments as way to provide supportive, constructive feedback, to initiate a conversation, or to share connections. Keep your language positive, offer suggestions, and focus on the content of the blog post.<\/p>\n
