Jumping into 21st Century Learning

The purpose behind this blog is to provide a space to extend our conversation beyond the physical classroom.  It provides the opportunity to reflect on ideas and experiences related to our studies and for you to comment on each others' reflections.  It also gives your writing a real audience and reminds us that, when used responsibly, the internet offers an excellent opportunity for exploration and collaboration.

We will have two official bloggers a week who will each provide at least one post, but everyone should read the weekly posts and comment when you are inspired to contribute. I encourage you to include photos, videos, and/or hyperlinks to related articles in your blog.  Any photos should be Creative Commons licensed or labeled "free to use or share even commercially" and a citation should be included underneath.  

The only contributing members of the blog will be invited by me.  This includes your classmates and possibly other members of the SVA community if we see fit down the road. 

We will come up with guidelines for blog posts together, but here is a starting place.

• Stay focused.  Remember: the blog is meant to help us think about topics from or related to class. 
• Only post info you would want everyone to know. 
• Use appropriate language, grammar, and spelling. 
• Be kind. No discriminatory, cruel, or obscene posts will be tolerated. 

Happy Blogging!
