Hope you’re all safe and sound
Please stay tuned for news on Wednesday’s class. We might try to meet if school is in session–we’ll see! (I doubt classes will be on, however, given the power and transportation disruptions.)
In the meantime, if you have power and solid Internet access, would you take a moment to set up your own Blogs at Baruch site for our final project? Here’s how:
Go the Blogs at Baruch main page (the one that comes up when you first sign on).
In the upper right corner, under your name, you’ll see a button that says, “Create a Whole New Site.”
Click that button and proceed to set up your site. For the site URL, you can use your full name, your first name, your name and Eng2150h, “Chaya’sEnglishBlog,” and so on and so on. Anything is possible, assuming it’s not already taken. The URL you choose will be permanent; you can not change it later. Our class blog URL is “eng2150h.”
Your site title should reflect the overall topic of your final project, to the extent that you know it at this time. Your title can be changed later. Our class blog title is “Reading and Writing in the Digital Age.”
You can choose to make your blog public or private. This setting can be changed down the line. No worries.
Your blog will have a default style theme. If you know how or you want to play, you can adjust your blog’s appearance. In class, we’ll go over how to adjust your theme, add pages, adjust privacy settings, etc.
Once you set up your blog, please email me a link to your blog address. I will create a link to everyone’s blog from our class blog, so we can visit one another.
If your power is out and your Internet access is limited, don’t worry about this project! But if you happen to have power and things are fairly normal with you, try to take care of it so we can focus on getting our less fortunate classmates up and running when things get back to normal.

When I signed on, I had to go to the dropdown menu from the “Welcome, Ari Himber” thing in the top right, go to “My Sites”, and click the sub-item “My Sites.” That brought me to a page with “Create A Whole New Site” in the top right.
I wasn’t in class last Wednesday so what is our research project supposed to be about?
Jacky,
Check out the Assignments page of the blog for the Unit 3 writing assignments. Also check the syllabus page for the Unit 3 revised and updated syllabus. Check your Baruch email account, too; I emailed you last Wednesday. Hopefully, you got it. Stay well!
