I just wanted to let you all know that I am extremely excited to be your peer mentor! I hope you all share the same excitement. The purpose of the blog is to give each of you the opportunity to express yourself as well as complete the 4 assignments for the course of the semester. I will try to post information that I believe would be helpful to you to succeed in your first year of college.
For your first assignment, you will have to create a 2 minute video, an eight image slideshow, or a ten song musical playlist that represent who you think you are to your classmates. Embed your creation in a blog post and then write no more than 500 words that explains how what you’ve created speaks to who you are. Here are some free tools that you can use for this assignment:
