Thank you all for your engagement in class this week! I appreciated the depth of the questions and interest related to the course, the Most Likely to Succeed film, your professional practice in the context of privacy and data, and your thoughts about open educational resources.
Next week we have Jesse Miller joining us to talk about online citizenship and key issues such as privacy, safety, and our professional responsibilities in the context of technology. Please have a look at Jesse’s website in advance of the class.
Slides from Week Two
Support for Getting Started with WordPress
I created a video overview on how to enhance your WordPress posts. The interface looks a little different in the video, but it should still be useful to you. I will plan to create a video about adding a new section on your wordpress site. I will provide that before next week.
To do list for Week Two
