Creating your own ITGS Blog

From now until the end of our regular classes, we will be working, in an attempt to revise and consolidate what we have learnt throughout the year, on creating your own ITGS blog.
Working in pairs, you will create a new blog in Blogspot. This blog will feature news articles, videos and ay other resources that you consider interesting and relevant to the topics we have covered. The theme of your blog will be the impact of technology on individuals and societies, and your target audience are web surfers who are interested in analyzing those implications and want to know more about the impact of technology.
You are expected to write a short commentary on the resources posted, and create a discussion thread for each article that you publish. You will be expected to respond to user comments on each of these threads.
You will be assessed on the quality of the posts, how they successfully cover the syllabus, and how you respond to user comments, thus encouraging a positive discussion on the topic.
Individually, you are expected to post at least three comments per lesson on other people’s blogs, and send a copy of each comment to itgs.sass@gmail.com
By the end of the lesson today, you have to send an email that contains:
- Names of the students in the group and the URL of the newly created blog.
- User name or Google account which you will use to post comments.
