Project Blog Instructions

One member of each group will set up a blog in his or her directory on student-iat.ubalt.edu. If you use blogger.com, you can follow these simple instructions for setting up a group blog.

1. Visit Blogger.com.
2. Choose "Create Your Blog Now"
3. When prompted for information about the server, url, and ftp site, follow these instructions exactly:
   • FTP Server: student-iat.ubalt.edu
   • Blog URL: http://student-iat.ubalt.edu/classes/[yourlastname]
   • FTP Path: [yourlastname]/
   • Blog Filename: anyfilename.html
   • FTP Username: (optional) [you should know what this is]
   • FTP Password: (optional) [you should know what this is]
4. In the "Members" settings, add your group members so they can all write to the blog.

One member of each group should post an update to the group's project blog each week beginning in week 4 of the semester and ending in week 12 (the week before the presentations are due). Each week's posting (except the first posting and the last posting) should do two things:

• Discuss the progress on each task since the last week's posting.
• Outline the tasks and who is doing what in the coming week.

I encourage groups to use these blogs to discuss issues and shared inquiry. But whether you do that part or not, you absolutely must share the job of posting the weekly reports. This activity will count for 10% of your overall grade.
