Learning/Participation grade

Hi everyone! Welcome to the world of blogging. Some of you might already be blogging, others may just read blogs periodically, or some of you might be asking "What in the world is a blog?" In short, a blog is defined as non-directional writing. So, what does that mean? It's a collection of random thoughts put onto to paper to form some sort of topical area. Since I am not a strong writer, a blog is the best invention ever for me.

Each week, I would like each of you to put your thoughts about our week in class on paper. In a sense, this will serve as a journal for the class. It's doesn't have to be that, it can be anything you want it to be. I am not looking for a novel, just a couple of paragraphs about what is on your mind regarding management, job satisfaction, school, or anything you would like to discuss. If you want to vent please do, but please consider the names of others in your posts.

I used blogging in my Masters Degree program for any activity similar to this. It's a great way to introduce you to new technology, critically reflect, and earn some easy participation points.

Enjoy!
