Last blog of Fall 2013

This is my last post this semester.  It has been a wonderful term and I have enjoyed everyone's blogs.  This week, I have to give my props to Mr. "Country" Hammond and his blog on wrestling.  This is not a topic I know anything about and Mr. Hammond has come a very long way in his skills this semester.  I am proud of him and his progress.  So, if you are interested (or not) in WWF, check out his blog here: Pro-Wrestling

I would also like to acknowledge the efforts of:
William Fowler
Autumn Geuea
Avery Brown
Vernard Wallace
Jennifer Fernandez 

and the rest of my COL 107 classes who made efforts to blog regularly and with very interesting content.  I wish you all the best in your journey.

Blog of the Week, November 18.

I have to pick Avery Brown's post this week on classical music appreciation.  His link to a Ted talk by Benjamin Zander was well worth the 20 minutes I spent listening.  Thanks Avery!

"Avery's perspective on music, art, and life."

Blogs for COL 107

Hi Class!
I am going to use this blog to communicate with you all about our blogs.  Each student should blog once per week to receive credit.  Your posts should be at least a paragraph (100+ words) and can contain pictures and links to web sites.

Also, read the posts of other students and explore the world of blogs.  Subscribe to a few that are in your field of interest.  Find other bloggers that blog about the same topic you are blogging about.  Create a list of blogs.  There is a lot of fun to be had!

My aim is for us to really explore this means of communicating and to understand the uses of blogs.

Cheers,
Amy
