Blog Journal – 10%
Participating in the New Media explosion is necessary to understanding it: each student will create their own “blog” which they will use as a journal during the course. The electronic blog journal will replace paper-based versions. On the blog journal, students record their creative, emotional and thought process, upload in-class photo-based exercises, and document their learning journey. Self-reflection and documentation is an important aspect of any creative endeavour. It is hoped that the blog journal will become an important tool for the student and that entries are made after each class: at minimum, one blog entry per week is expected. The journal is graded on the quality, not quantity, of personal examination and documentation of process. If desired, the blog may also document their entire university learning process.
What is a Blog?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Click link to read more.
A weblog, which is usually shortened to blog, is a type of website where entries are made (such as in a journal or diary), displayed in a reverse chronological order.
Blogs often provide commentary or news and information on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.
The word blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Anatomy of a blog entry
A blog entry typically consists of the following:
Title, the main title, or headline, of the post.
Body, main content of the post.
Permalink, the URL of the full, individual article.
Post Date, date and time the post was published.
A blog entry optionally includes the following:
Comments
Categories (or tags) - subjects that the entry discusses
Trackback and or pingback - links to other sites that refer to the entry
Comments/Feedback comment system
Comments are a way to provide discussion on blog entries. Readers can leave a comment on a post, which can correct errors or contain their opinion on the post or the post's subject. Services like coComment aim to ease discussion through comments, by allowing tracking of them.
