Every now and then I want to utilize the blog for class assignments. This is an example of one such assignment for my Digital Storytelling class.
Now that we have set up our blogs and have been working on writing entries, I want you to move towards the second element of blogging: responding to blogs. The idea of blogging is not only to have an outlet for your ideas and writing/music/photography/art work, but also to become a member of a community.
The concept here is, for this quiz, is to comment on as many blogs as you possibly can. I will offer you the opportunity to score as highly as you want, as long as you follow the ground rules below. The grading will run like this:
If you comment on all eight possible blogs (mine included), you will receive a 35/35 (100%).
If you comment on six possible blogs (mine included), you will receive a 32/35 (91%).
If you comment on four possible blogs (mine included), you will receive a 28/35 (80%).
If you comment on three possible blogs (mine included), you will receive a 25/35 (71%).
If you do not comment on at least two separate blogs , you will receive a 0/35 (0%).
There are, of course, ground rules for this assignment. They are:
1) Responses must be posted on the separate blogs in order to count.
2) Responses must be constructive criticism based on the first film. The responses must be substantitive in nature (you can't just say "Good Job!").
3) You may offer suggestions or tips, but cannot be hurtful or destructive.
EXTRA CREDIT: If you really get into the response thing, I’ll give you extra credit! Over twelve responses will get you an extra 20/20. Don’t laugh, these things add up.
DUE: all responses are due in by Friday, October 20, 2006. Fill out the form below and hand it in to me on Friday.

I actually like the idea of blogging. It is completely different from anything we have ever done. It is an easier way of expressing your ideas. I also agree with Rose that I like that itis online. Since it is online i kind of forget to go to the site and blog. I rather do the blog than write something in class.
