Here is an article about interacting with an online audience
Blog: Write a blog post that will include several photos and link to a Web site.
Write an introductory note about yourself that will become the post. Possible topics:
- Brief bio
- Your educational / career goals
- Your expectations for this class
- An anecdote or humorous note that reveals your character in a roundabout way
- Whatever you’re thinking about at the moment
Shoot six photos of people, places and/or things that support your note.
- Choose a main and secondary photo for your blog post.
- The other photos will become a photo album.
Find a link to a Web site or blog that is important to you, or that you would like to share in the context of the note your are writing.
Make sure your note refers to the photos and the Web site or blog.
- Mention your main photo in the first paragraph.
- Mention your secondary photo later in your note.
- For the Web site or blog, don’t type the actual hyperlink; just discuss the site and mention it by name.
Bring to class:
- Your camera including memory card with the photos.
- Your card reader. If you don’t have one yet, I’ll provide.
- Your captions on your flash drive or in an e-mail to yourself.
