Assignment Details
Step 1: Create a blog on this Web site or any other blogging site that you wish.
Step 2: Create an initial post. Talk about yourself, this class, and what you think the blog will be about.
You will turn in a document of 1–2 pages that includes the following:
- Describe the following:
- The name of and theme for your blog
- The link for the main blog page
- Any challenges that you had
- The layout for your blog
- Copy and paste your Step 2 initial blog into this document.
- Although blogs will be visited by the instructor, only content that has been turned in can be graded. The exception would be if the assignment asks you to create a video or something similar.
- Ensure that you have a cover page and references and that you follow APA format.
Tips for creating blogs and minimizing the issues are as follows:
- Select a name and a link that reflects your professionalism as an emerging thought leader in futuring and innovation.
- You may remain anonymous in your blog in both your profile and your posts to protect your privacy. If anonymity is important, avoid using an account with your name in it.
- Do not reduce your personal power by posting a disclaimer that discounts the value of your contributions on your blog.
