Purposes of the Blogging Assignment

Taken from our course syllabus, there are multiple purposes for this assignment:

1. Develop my own digital literacy expertise
   
2. Create an online record of my course writing and of links to reports, blogs, websites, journals, and books that I deem valuable for my continued study of language and literacy
3. Demonstrate for course credit that I have developed the ability to create and develop a blog on blogger.com
4. Have easy and quick access to all of my course writing for ENGL B6400: Theories & Models of Literacy
5. Program Assessment: course blogs will be included in program assessment for the MA in Language & Literacy program (CCNY professors & administrators will/might have access to my blog)
6. Create an "individualized portrait of (my) own learning" in this course
