• Gradebook Declaration: I have published a blog post on my course blog that is between 300 and 600 words long. The post contains at least one image and at least one text hyperlink to another web site. I have spellchecked and proofread the post.

For this assignment, you will create a post in your course blog introducing yourself to the class. You might want to write about your major, the courses you are taking now, your family, your favorite movies, your hobbies, web sites you like, etc. You can see a sample of this assignment by looking at the About the Instructor page you had to read for yesterday’s assignment: that’s basically my introduction blog post for the semester. (You’ll have to register for an account and create a blog on this course web site before you can complete this assignment; we covered how to do this in class on January 20, but here are some instructions: Link.) The blog post must contain one text link and one image.

Once you have created a blog, you can login to that blog by clicking the “Login” link in the top right-hand corner of this web site. Logging in will take your to your blog’s dashboard: from there, you can create a new blog post by following the instructions in these videos:

—-

Writing and publishing a post

Saving and returning to draft posts

—-

Embedding photos into your posts

(Only the first 50 seconds of this video, talking about the features related to adding photos to your posts, apply to our student blogs. Ignore the second half for now that talks about audio, video, and polls.)

Once you have completed this assignment, make your gradebook declaration.
