As part of the participation mark, students will need to create and maintain a blog during the semester. Your blog should be a new blog created for this course. Blogs should be used to document individual progress through the course, the learning of new technology; to catalogue and comment on findings and discoveries on all things geographic; to document your essay research, and to highlight ideas learned in the course through classes, readings and discussions. Students should post to their blog regularly. By the end of the course the blog should have a minimum of 8-10 posts and a total of about 1500-2000 words.
Blogs can be built on any platform of your choice. For easy setup and examples of blogs, see http://blogger.com or http://wordpress.com
Once you have set up your blog, please send me the address and I will add it to the blog RSS feed that will be listed at http://inf2102.blogspot.ca.
