Hi Students!

When you are ready to post your CLC assignment, please sign-in to the blog and select New Post (at the top right-hand corner. Once you click New Post, the screen will turn dark blue at the top, and you will see an email format. You can provide a title and copy/paste your text. Select Publish Post, and you are set! You can follow the same format when you post your Individual Module 7 assignment. Happy blogging!

Happy Tuesday!

Thank you for signing into the blog. This is a new experience for me, and it may just be for you. To add content to the blog, you can select Sign In and select New Post or respond to an existing post. (Do not be concerned about making mistakes within this blog. I have made plenty thus far! It is all an experiment). This should create a format similar to an email. Please ask one person from your CLC team to post the summary of survey findings. Next, you can select one particular survey to respond to within your blog posting. Then, create your posting by addressing the questions within the syllabus. Finally, post your assignment to the blog and post in the drop box. No need to include a title page, introduction or conclusion for this assignment. Please create a brief submission. Since we have a large assignment due for Module 8, I want this to be a fun experience. Sharie
