I am going to be posting a series of links that will connect you with articles, videos, podcasts, etc that you may find interesting or will aid you in contributing to classroom discussion.
While you do not need to check this blog everyday, it will offer information to help you prepare for class. By reviewing posts of topics that are of particular interest to you it will allow you to connect with classmates with these same interests. You will be able to work with one another via the comment portion of this blog, offering different insights and perspectives on the same topics.
Remember that additional insight or even disagreement offers us the opportunity for positive interaction. Constant agreement is boring - so feel encouraged to offer different perspectives in a respectful and constructive manner. Maybe you found another source that you would like your classmates to review when considering the post, maybe you read an article that is in direct opposition to the one posted here and would like to address some of those points.
Once I invite each of you to act as contributing authors to the blog you will be able to publish your own posts for evaluation, review and discussion.
If you have any questions please let me know!
