Live on blog now

Good morning.

As I understand things, we are having this class now online.  So starting Thursday, I would like to have one reflection per class day, Tues and Thursday.  You can get it in by the afternoon, that is fine.  I will point to readings and start discussion points but feel free to reflect on the readings yourself or other topics.

For now, we should take the opportunity to sharpen our writing powers for this “genre” or format, the blog post, online writing, etc.

Please scroll down and navigate this blog and read some of your classmates’ comments.  Ask yourself, what makes an effective blog post?  A very important aspect, is the visual, graphic display on the web.  Make sure to skip a space to create a visual step to help guide a reader. Remember, an effective communication is one that gets its message across.

Note also that shorter sentences tend to be more effective.  So practice writing shorter sentences.
