Blog Report Grading & More

Some thoughts for you all related to a question I had about our Blog Report assignment as you work on Blog Report #3 & #4 and beyond.

Start getting very serious about weaving your peer reviewed sources and studies you are finding into your posts. That will set you up to have draft chunks of your paper.
Utilizing a more formal voice will prepare you for the scholarly written work you will do the rest of the semester.
Be sure to use the proper APA citation method in text: i.e. Stephens (2016) explored the benefits of blogging platforms for LIS students…
Don’t fret about APA formatting not being perfect in WP – ideas and synthesis of your research is more important.
Download and use the “Making the Most of Your Blog” document: MakingMostBlogINFO200 _StudentsGuide
Professional articles and media are super useful as well but do not carry the weight of research-based sources. Use them to support your ideas, but be sure the scholarly approaches are predominant.
Review Module 2 as needed for information on sources, etc.

Here is a PDF that breaks down how your Blog Reports will be graded:
