Check-in/Connection
This is an extra credit assignment with two parts: a class "what's the mood?" survey for life and school in general (totally anonymous, so feel free to vent also; venting sometimes helps!), and then a collaborative Padlet where we can connect and share feel-good music, uplifting graphics, helpful infographics: something that is helping you cope with this impossible semester that others might find useful too!
Here's how that works:
STEP 1: Anonymous survey. I've embedded the survey down at the bottom of this page, and you can also find it online here: Stress Check Survey. I'll share the overall results each week. It will be a big help to me to get a sense of the class stress level this way. I've never seen a semester like this, and I know the experience is going to be different from everybody, with more stress or less stress based on each person's situation.
STEP 2. Connection Padlet. You will see the Connection Padlet in Canvas, and you can also access it directly here: Check-in/Connection Padlet.
STEP 3. Find an image (or images) to use. Now look through all four articles, focusing on the images, and find at least one image you want to use. Click on the image to open the image in a new tab also (every image at Wikipedia has a page of its own). Now you have everything you need to write a blog post: four articles, plus at least one image, each open in a browser tab. You can close the tabs one by one as you write your blog post.
STEP 4. Write your Wikipedia Trail blog post. For each article, include the article title and a link, along with two or three sentences about how your curiosity led you to that article. For the title of the post, include the phrase "Wikipedia Trail" and then the starting article plus the article where you ended up. For the label, use "Wikipedia" plus whatever week it is; for example: Wikipedia, Week 1 (make sure to separate them with a comma).
When you have published your blog post, don't forget to do the Declaration:
|
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
I have followed my own Wikipedia Trail and published a blog post about it.
LINKS: My post has links to each of the four Wikipedia articles that I read.
POST TITLE: The phrase "Wikipedia Trail" appears in the post title, plus my "from" starting point and my "to" ending point.
POST LABELS: I used — Wikipedia, Week ## — separated by a comma.
IMAGE. I included at least one image with image information. |
Here's the survey: don't forget to click SUBMIT at the bottom when you're done!
