FAQ:

Q: How often will we have to post to our blog?

A: We'll start with weekly, two reader response and two self-selected subject posts per month.

 Q: Can I change the URLs (web addresses) to my blog and Twitter?

A: Yes, but if you do, just be sure you let me know so I can update our class blog list.

Q: Will these blogs be graded regularly?

A: Yes, I will provide a rubric with specific expectations by which your blog will be graded.

Q: How should we embed the reading posts and our other posts?

A: You don't have to blend or mix them. They will be their own posts with their own titles, tags, etc.

 Q: Are we allowed to talk about more than one thing we like or is the blog just specifically about one subject?

A: You can write about more than one thing, but I'm hoping everyone's blog will have a focus subject that you return to again and again. But that focus can change. Just remember your audience!

Q: Are we going to be blogging a lot on both websites at the same time? 

A: Not necessarily. Your Twitter will act more as a web filter to help you find things to write about and respond to. But feel free to use Twitter as you wish.

Q: Do we have to create a google plus profile? Or can we keep our old blogger profile so that we can remain somewhat anonymous?

A: You can keep your old profile and just start a new blog. You're welcome to and I'd advise that your URL be anonymous to the world, but your classmates will have access to your blog.

You can also use an previous Twitter account. You don't necessarily need a new one, but it would be nice to have one that focuses on this project so you don't get distracted by Ashton Kutcher, Kim Kardashian, and anyone else you might follow.

Q: I feel like I might get confused on future assignments because I'm not really familiar with either of these websites.

A: Don't worry, you'll have lots of help and support!
