Mr. D's Blog

Each blog post will be worth 30 points.  Your assignment will be graded using the ‘blog rubric’.  This rubric can be found on the class website. Each student should print out 1 rubric per blog response.  Fill out the student portion and then turn it in by placing it in the appropriate bin in the classroom.

1. We will have two blog questions per quarter.
2. The due date of your response will be plainly listed on the blog website.  Any posts not received on or before the date listed will not be given credit.
3. When making a blog post NEVER use your full name.  Instead use the following format:
4. P1W + First Name + Last Initial
5. When making a blog post NEVER make negative comments about the people or posts that already exist.
6. Each blog post must be a minimum of 2 paragraphs and a maximum of 3 paragraphs.
7. Each blog post must choose one thing about a previous post (with the exception of post #1) and comment on it.  Remember that you cannot make negative comments so I am looking for something that you agree with or like about a previous post.  Mention what it is you like AND who made the post.
8. VERY IMPORTANT:  No posts will be allowed from within class.  Every post you make has a date and time stamp.  Please don’t try and be tricky on this one.  This is your homework and as such should be completed at home.

The primary purpose of this blog is to allow each of you to share your thoughts with your classmates. Each of you has valuable insights that too frequently go unspoken or unnoticed.  This blog will allow you to share your knowledge with those around you.  With that in mind I will ask that each of you please take this blog seriously.  It is my hope that we will learn from each other and start to realize that although someone may be looking at a problem or a situation from a different perspective that all of our thoughts and feelings have value.  By learning to see the world through the eyes of others our own world view and in turn our own knowledge of the world will be expanded.
