Introduction to Weblogs
Meet in computer lab (L110).
All students will receive their own personal online journals (weblogs) at blogs.setonhill.edu.
In class: Post a brief, informal entry on the assigned readings. (Experienced bloggers, please help classmates if necessary... this is just practice.)
Agenda Items and Online Discussion
Some time today, post your agenda item for the next class discussion.

By the beginning of class tomorrow, post three response to agenda items on your peer's weblogs.
For your upcoming portfolio assignment, keep the conversation going, by writing back to anyone who left useful or interesting comments on your own weblog.
