Blogging to Build Communities & Followers



Class:

There are important ways to gain a community, a follower group, and make deeper connections.

Your assignment:

1. Blog on one thing you feel confident speaking on, related to your mid-term topic.
2. Blog on one thing that you feel less confident on, and invite 7 people to give you feedback, and give them a interesting 'problem' that you need help figuring out! You can promote learning and build communities by giving your community incentives to help you figure out a mystery, and you can invite them to participate with you in your research in a fun way at the same time.

For Wednesday 11/5, let's see how many people will respond to your 'problem' and let's see what creative solutions other folks arrive at...

For Monday, 11/10, I'm holding a contest. Here's the deal:
The person with the most visits to their blog and the most 'comments' with interesting 'detective work' over the weekend, will get a whopping 4 whole points added to their final grade. Whoa!

If two people want to join a 'team', rather than go alone, then the two folks will coordinate the 'problem' and set 'clues' for other class members to 'follow'.

The two individuals will receive 2 points each.

Good luck!
