Welcome to "Introduction to Society, Economics and Politics 2010!"
-
Welcome to all students following the Introduction to Society, Economics and Politics course from January-May 2010. This blog will be one of the online mediums through which we will communicate this semester, but the primary purpose of it is to keep a record of events that we can all follow as the semester progresses. There will be ups, there will be downs, but that is also all part of the fun! The other purpose is to act as a central place to post ideas, comments and reflections on the topics we look at. In the process you will learn how to blog too.......and remember that the blog will form part of your partial grades!
As I write you are slowly adding yourselves to the blog. The next step is that I will specify exactly what I want in terms of blog posts. Then, until the end of the partial (I will specify the date) you will be expected to write FIVE posts to receive your 20% grade towards the partial. Thus, each post represents 4%.
So, please await the guidelines on WHAT I want in terms of posts, and start thinking about TOPICS you could write about. (Based on classes so far, and personal interests too, if connected with the subject.)
Meanwhile, the most important thing to be done is to take a look around the blog, in terms of HOW to post, its settings etc. Please make sure your profiles are complete (with full names, and photos if you'd like.....) and that you know all about what ETIQUETTAS (tags) are. This is important when you post, as I'll explain later. So, time to browse the blogger help files, and come to me for more information if you're confused.
We'll start blogging this week, so get ready!
Saludos,
Maestro.
