BLOGGING

Now, it is time for you to approach information technologies from personal and professional perspective. I am sure are on Facebook, and if you aren't, then we need to talk about your social networking. Facebook and Twitter are social networks. I am also sure you know what blogging is.

We are starting a new phase of our use of the language. As off now, you will be blogging at least once a week, so you need to learn how to blog. Aside form blogging you will be producing a podcast, which will be published on your blog. There are many resources on the net to learn how to make a podcast. We need to broaden our perspective and acquire new skills. These skills and these tools will be very helpful in all your other classes. You will be able to approach projects, internships and your current or future employment opportunities with more weapons.
For this class you need to set up a blog and notify me of your blog address via email to ralfortiz@gmail.com. Here are some VERY important tips based on what has caused problems for students in the past.

1. Take note of the name you decided for your blog and password access and keep it with you.
2. Notify me of your blog address via email immediately.
3. Design your blog to suit your personality. Use your imagination.
4. NEVER, and I really mean NEVER copy and paste material. You may link material from other pages to your blog, but you MUST write all the text in your own words.
5. NEVER, and this is NEVER, write in Spanish and use a translator for your text.
6. Work on your posts with time so that you are never pressed for time.
7. Make an impression, make sure more people read your blog.
