Media Lit.

My Media Literature classes are going to journal online this semester. While writing with pen and paper is very valuable, so is mastering the art of communicating online. Therefore, each student will keep a blog.

To those in my courses (and others who have educational projects), remember to leave out personal information, like first names and hometowns. Even saying the name of a school creates a potential security and safety issue in our modern era. While we want to trust the world, we must be cautious about how much we reveal to the global audience of blog.

On the other hand, blogging is an opprotunity to sound out ideas on a much larger scale than ever before. Put your best “foot” forward, express your ideas, and respond to the thoughts of others.
