DUE: Monday, 04 April 2011 by the beginning of class.
Step 1: Set-up a blog on whatever blogging platform you prefer.
In order to complete this step, you will need an email address and an internet connection. Please choose a FREE service. There are many out there and there is no need to spend money on this.
Be aware that it is important to protect your identity on the web. It is up to you, but it the recommendation of both the university and myself that you use a screen-name when posting content to your blog.
Refer to the following post for more on how to do this: How to Blog
Step 2: Introduce yourself to the world.
Create a blog post introducing yourself. Write a bit about who you are, your interests, where your from, etc.. While it is not needed to include personal information that you are not comfortable sharing, do try to include things that will help your classmates relate to you.
For example: While I might not be comfortable stating that I am from Melrose, Wi, I might state that I am from a small, rural village in Western Wisconsin.
Step 3: What are you hoping to get out of Dsgn200 this quarter?
Write a short statement about why you are taking this course. What are you interested in within the design topic? What are you looking forward to so far? Are you intending to major/minor in Design? Are you just taking this for fun? Any concerns or reservations you have about the course? How did you hear about the course? These are the types of questions you might try to address.
Step 4: "Register" your new blog with me (the instructor).
Upon getting your blog set-up and activated, fill out the following form to let me know about it.
