Here We Go! MSMK Class Blog

Part of learning about and understanding the web 2.0 tool kit and social media is to learn about blogging. And what better way than to dive right in! I expect each of you to post to this blog weekly. I want you to talk about what you're learning, you're insights, surprises, ah-ha's, oh-no's and appreciation for each other's contributions.
Here are a few guidelines;

• Keep it short - 250 words or so. Please do not ramble. Make a point, illustrate it, say what you think about it personally, give a resource or reference if applicable and then stop.
  
• Understand that each person's point of view is valuable. We can respectfully disagree and I encourage you to do so. This is a place to be heard not mocked.
  
• Keep the language simple. Part of writing for a broad audience is using words that everyone understands. I like 50 cents words as much as the next scrabble player but this is not the place for them.
  
• Pick one idea per post. This takes discipline to write clearly and concisely.
  
• Be constructive and positive.
  
• Write about your own experience and thinking.
  I'm sure I'll have other words of wisdom for you. I've been blogging for a couple of years and I've learned a lot. I hope you will too.
