Module 7 Assignment

Welcome to Module 7, class! I am glad that many of you have found the blog. Please feel free to post your Module 7 reflection as a comment to this message. You are free to provide feedback to your peers, although it is not required. When you are ready to submit your Module 7 assignment to the drop box, there is no need to include a title page (just place your name on the paper for ease of reading for me). The assignment is informal. Happy posting and reading!

Instructions to Begin!

Thank you for signing into the blog! This may be new experience for you! To add content to the blog, you can select Reply after my most current message. (Do not be concerned about making mistakes within this blog. I have made plenty thus far! It is all an experiment). This should create a format similar to an email. Please ask one person from your CLC team to post the summary of survey findings. Next, you can select one particular survey to respond to within your blog posting. Then, create your posting by addressing the questions within the syllabus. Finally, post your assignment to the blog and post in the drop box. No need to include a title page, introduction or conclusion for this assignment. Please create a brief submission. Since we have a large assignment due for Module 8, I want this to be a fun experience. Sharie
