Student Blogs
The class weblogs are an extension of our class discussion and to engage students as participants in new media. This is part of the ongoing effort to move from new media consumers to online content creators. Weekly blog entries will allow students to expand on reading assignments, what we watch in class and what we talk about during the week.
