Throughout AE-510 you'll be required to write blog posts:
- Before class, based on assigned topics and/or readings
- Perhaps during class
I urge you to bookmark the blog. You'll come back to it many times.
To write a post you'll need to:
- Have a gmail account - I've found that almost every student already has one
- Complete the initial survey. By supplying your gmail address there I'll be able to add you as an editor to the blog.
How to create a post:
- I strongly suggest writing the post offline in a word-processing document that you save, perhaps creating a single document for all you posts in the course.
- If you're asked to comment on other posts do that as part of this post after reading them.
- You're welcome to add your comments to other's posts separately, but please include all your comments in your main post to make grading easier.
- Labeling Your Posts
- Decide on the "labels" (tags) for the post. This will include at least your last name (already created as a label by the instructor)
- Please check to see if there are already a tags that cover your topic before creating new ones.
- Paste the body of your text into blogger
- Click on the appropriate tags, only creating new tags if really necessary
- Submit and review that it looks the way you wish.
Submit the URL of your post to BbLearn
- To get credit for the blog post you'll need to copy and paste the URL to BbLearn - that's where the grader will see it.
- If you've chose to post comments to other people's posts and have not included those comments with your own post then include the URLs to those posts as well.
