Throughout the course, you will be contributing to our learning community on your own blogs by responding to four blog prompts provided by the course instructors. You are encouraged to initiate your own posts in response to the materials and resources shared throughout the course, as well as linking out to materials and literature to support your thinking. For this assignment all posts will be submitted via a link to it in Brightspace for feedback and grading. Details on this will be announced during our Weekly Updates.

Blog posts will be graded on:

  • Reflection quality and inclusion of evidence-based thinking: compelling, original reflection that meaningfully connects course concepts to practice or experience; claims are backed by credible evidence.
  • Blog conventions and sources: effective use of hyperlinks to sources/related material, readable structure (headings, paragraphs, white space), and at least one relevant visual/multimedia element where appropriate. Draws on appropriate scholarly/professional sources; APA in-text and reference list are accurate.
  • Writing quality: clear, well-organized, free of spelling/grammar errors; appropriate tone for a blog audience.

Please review the AI policy for this assignment.

In addition to authoring blog posts, you will be expected to contribute to the EDCI335 learning community by commenting on AT MINIMUM 3 of the posts of your peers. Share your blog post links with your group, select posts of interest and provide feedback or ask extending questions. You must respond to at least three other posts but feel free to read and interact with more. You’ll find that these interactions lead to increased traffic on your own blog, which will provide opportunities to have your thinking supported, questions to consider, and possibly new connections made.

Create a separate post on your site with links to all of the comments that you’ve made on other sites throughout the course so that they can be reviewed.
