Thank you

I don't know how many of you will see this, but I just had to tell you all THANK YOU! Thanks for jumping on my blogging, e-dentity, social media, writing, researching, first time train.

I had a great time learning from all of you. You are all great people and great students and will achieve what you set your minds to.

Thanks for being a great class and for putting up with my crazy ideas.

P.S. Your final grades are in! Log in to your eWeber to see them.

Conclusion Post

Now that we have spent seven weeks learning and writing and blogging and reading and researching and writing more, you will be able to write up a sum up of your thoughts and feelings during all that. To help you as you write your conclusion post, here are a few probing questions.

• What did you think of the class?
• Did you like our subject?
• What was your favorite part about the class?
• What did you learn?
• What do you wish you would have learned?
• What are your overall feelings about the class?
• What could you have done better?
• What could I have done better?
• So what?

You don't have to answer all of these questions. Just pick a few. It is also ok to think up your own question, but it needs to be related to our class. 

Your conclusion post should be at least two sized paragraphs, but I would love to see you write more than that. 

This post (and all other posts and journals and in class writings) are due on Monday, August 11 at 11:59 pm MST. 

NOTE: You will need to email me your Argument Essay no later than Monday, August 11 as well. 

Your final grades will be posted on your eWeber no later than Thursday, August 14. 

The "Good" Side of Social Media

I was thinking the other day that we have had some good discussions evaluating social media and it's affects on us and our society. But I feel like we have missed the good that social media has done.

The question you have to ask yourself is, does the good out weigh the bad?

And last, one silly joke I saw a while back. Hehe

How to Write a Conclusion

I realize that we have talked about this a little before. And there are a few images in the other posts that will help you in writing a conclusion. However, I found a few more helpful resources for writing your conclusion.

This website is fairly simple, but it will help if you get stuck.

Ok that's it. I hope it helps. Have fun!

Journal Assignment: The Future of Your Topic

Thus far, you have provided an introduction, a discussion of the debates, and a discussion of the major voices in your subject. Now, with some expertise on this subject, you can confidently say where future attention should be focused. This is not a place for you to argue with the sources. It is a place for you to recognize where they—as a whole—have not covered everything about this topic that there is to discuss. As you write, make sure that you do not enter into debate. Your task is to describe what still needs to be explored.
