IST 110 Blogging Assignments

I really can’t imagine forcing anyone to blog … I mean that just sort of violates the spirit of blogging. But, with that said, I do want you posting things to the Blogs@110. I’ve made sure each and everyone of you has a blog space to work in. Everytime you post something the program gets richer to those looking in from the outside. If you break it down, that’s really my goal here — to give those people out there a view into how amazing it is in here … and I think it should be done in your voices. As my colleague, Bart Pursel says, “… you, as a blogger, aren’t a news reporter on assignment, you’re blogging something based on your unique perspective, and each post could/should have its own flavor of what the event/speaker meant to you, and how you can apply that stuff to your life/assignment, whateva …” I’ll outline each one below and we’ll discuss them more in class. If you need help getting started, take a look at the Getting Started with the Blogs@110 page. IST 110 Blogging Assignment Types There are five blogging assignments that I am asking you to complete. Please pay attention to the posting instructions for each one.
