On Friday, Ms. Brown made mention of a variety of items that are all available for checkout in the library--including digital cameras, digital video cameras, and audio recorders--as well as resources like the presentation studio. For your next blog, I would like you to think about a particular problem or writing issue that you encountered in drafting, editing, and/or revising your first essay and to consider how you might have used one of these technologies to resolve it. This will require you to think in terms of WOVEN: your essay is a Written document, and so how might you have used other modes to make and support the same claim.
Here's the catch: you must use one of these technologies in your blog, and you will have to figure out how to locate in your blog WITHOUT MY HELP. A note here: you don't have to use one of the library's resources. Many of your laptops include webcams & audio recorders, and many of you have digital cameras. Heck, most of your mobile phones will do all of these things. Figure out how to record yourself, how to take a photograph or video, etc., and embed it in your blog. The library computers will have all of the software you need (most of your laptops will, too).
Note #2: "Without my help" means only help from me. Many of you will have to ask for someone to help you--Ms. Brown and the other librarians will be incredible resources. Ask your friends, your roommates, your classmates. Also: don't be afraid of the HELP function on Blogger or any other resource.
Due Friday before class.
