portfolio 1-hopefully done

From this list, it looks like you don't have any entries to contribute under "timeliness," though I'm sure you weren't late for every single assignment. I really appreciate the honesty with which you approach the subject in your blogging. You generally make a clear and successful effort to explain what you learned from each assigned reading, and I've seen many cases where you've successfully backed up your claim with a quote. For your next portfolio, pick one or two of your best entries in each category, and write a few brief lines about why it represents your best work. These links to help me to scan over your work quickly and get a sense of your achievements, but telling me that "This entry represents my best 'depth' because..." will really help you to show off your developing thoughts about the course material.

Also, I think you and your peers will find the discussions more valuable if you return to discussions you've started, and respond to the people who posted there. If you had replied to the comments left by your classmates in the 3 entries you included for "interaction," you might have attracted even more comments from visitors who saw that you were actively guiding the conversation along the path you started.

I think with these changes, your next portfolio will be able to build on the solid strengths you've already shown, and move from the B range into the A range on this part of the course.

This is good stuff, Keith, and I'm really happy to see you maintaining a good level of insight and getting perfectly respectable scores on the readings quizzes.

Would it help you to express your ideas in your blog if you included links, or images, or videos, or sounds? Let me know if any of that appeals to you, and I can tell you what buttons to push on your blog -- it's really pretty straightforward.
