Bibliographies and blogs

Several people had questions about formatting your bibliography sources on your blog. This actually should not be a problem. The only thing that won't work (for most people) is indenting. Also, if you are using URLS in your citation please cite as < http://www.google.com >. Please note the spaces after and before the carrots.

That should do it for you, when you need to cite bibliographical information in html. (Now I do know that if you know html coding, then this isn't an issue for you.)

RSS feeds

Ever spend way too much time going from website to website looking at all of your news articles, keeping up with your friends and family's blogs, and making sure you check your instructor's websites? Watch this short video to learn how to do this is all a lot faster!

Del.icio.us

Do you want to know why we use del.icio.us for this class, and my explanations don't make sense? Please watch this short video and you'll have no more questions.

Lectures Link

I have added a link to our Course Links that includes the URLs of all of the class lectures. Anytime your reading assignment asks you to read one of the "lectures", this is where you go.

Syllabus & Module 1

In the column above the calendar you will see a list of links. Right now there's the link to the syllabus for the class, and a link to Module 1. For this section of the class there are five modules, please begin with this one. I will get the rest of them online ASAP. Once you all have your gmail accounts, I will also share all of these documents to you.
