Final Project

Those of you taking the course for credit will need to submit your blog as a final project. It's essentially what we've been working on already, and will continue to play with on Tuesday, but the formal version follows.

For the final assignment, participants will create original blogs for classroom use. This blog may be a classroom portal, a discussion space for students, or another type approved by the instructor.

To demonstrate understanding of content covered in the course, final projects should include the following:

• A profile or “about me” sidebar
• At least one other sidebar element
• Embedded links
• Embedded multimedia (e.g., photos or video)
• At least three sample posts; the first post should be a statement of purpose for the blog

Final projects will be assessed as follows:

• Utilizes technology effectively
• Strong understanding of content covered in the course (to be demonstrated by inclusion of required components)
• Clearly developed goals and objectives
• Content appropriate for intended audience
• Effectively organized to address user needs
• Timeliness and conventions (e.g., spelling, grammar)
