Sorry for the delays. I was having some technical difficulties (trying to figure out this blog, which is actually a new thing for me). At this point, I have allowed everyone who wants to the ability to post a comment -- so everyone on the entire internet (and our class) can contribute to our discussions. Secondly, I have "invited" everyone in the class who either emailed me or gave me a filled-out syllabus agreement with an email address. The invitation allows you to contribute to the blog. From this point on, everyone should be fine.
IMPORTANT NEWS. The blog is meant to be a tool for you to use for discussion, questions, and to help each other. However, I have been reminded that our class was not advertised as a "hybrid" class that would require computer or internet work for a grade. Therefore, although I strongly encourage each of you to access, use, and get comfortable with the blog as a learning tool, if you do feel uncomfortable using the blog, YOU MAY TURN IN YOUR COMMENTS TO EM ON PAPER FOR FULL CREDIT. I prefer the blog, but either way you will get credit for your contributions.
Have fun and enjoy the evening!

ReplyDeleteI read The Color Of Magic by: Terry Pratchett. It was 240 pages. On a world supported on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown), a gleeful, explosive, wickedly eccentric expedition sets out. There's an avaricious but inept wizard, a naive tourist whose luggage moves on hundreds of dear little legs, dragons who only exist if you believe in them, and of course THE EDGE of the planet...
