Sample: Blogging on the Workshop

Posted on October 21, 2009 by Michelle

Hello to all:

This is a sample of the required format of posting the blogs. This is  a blog of one of the workshops I attended this week. Remember that just showing up to a workshop and getting your passports signed does not complete the assignment. Part A includes Attending and Part B includes Blogging. 

1) Title of Workshop: Bearcat-The Other Google

2) Enrichment Area Fulfilled: Academic Enrichment

3) Date/Time Attended: October 20/ 1:30pm to 2:30pm

4) How did the workshops affect your perspective of the topic that was discussed?

This workshop affected my perspective of the topic by helping me to discover that there were more ways of searching for research materials than just using Google and Yahoo! to find credible sources. There was information that will be useful in helping me write papers for each of my classes, since the demographics of searching on Bearcat has such a wide variety. The information given was very clear and was understandable in how it was presented to the audience.  I am sure that I will be using Bearcat for my upcoming research assignments. 

5) How did the workshop take you out of your comfort zone?

This workshop took me out of my comfort zone by presenting me information that I had no prior knowledge about. Since I usually use the traditional Ask Jeeves and Google search engines, being introduced to Bearcat helped me to narrow down the information I was looking for into a more specific area.

6) Explain what the workshop was about and tell us why you specifically chose that workshop.

First off I chose this workshop so I can be exposed to what the Bearcat database has to offer. This workshop was a guide to help the students find ways on how the database can provide all types of information for researching information.   

In order for your blog to be counted, you have a week from the attendance of that workshop to blog about it. Blogging any time after the seven days the blog will not be counted and you must attend another workshop. For example, if you attend a workshop on  November 4, you have until November 11 to blog about the workshop.

Any other questions you may address to me or to your advisor, Helene Brown.

Your Mentor,

Michelle

    Hello Ruolu,

    There are no workshops scheduled for Friday, October 23.

    There is a calendar of upcoming workshops with the correct dates when you click on “Section BPR2A” on the home page and scroll down to the list of workshops. The list of workshops is updated every week so be sure to check the calendar for any changes.

    Hi michelle, I have a question. Do we have a workshop of personal enrichment on Oct 23th? I got a schedule said that we have one on the 23th, but your link from the “enrichment workshops schedule” has a different schedule from the one i got. I am wondering if they change the schedule.

    Hello Baoer,

    Every workshop that fulfills the enrichment area must have a blog. But let’s say you attended two Career Exploration workshops, you must choose one to blog about. So in all you should have at least six blogs. Remember that just signing the passport doesn’t complete the assignment. Thank you for the question.

    Your mentor,
    Michelle

    Thank you for sharing the format of blogging.
    But I have one question, do we have to blog each time we attended in workshop?
