Student blogs are springboards to WinK.

As the fuzzy illustration below suggests, student blogs are central venues for class activity, where you'll be involved in creating and expanding your own blogs. I expect you to use your blogs as springboards for community blogging.

That is, I expect you to read and comment frequently on posts made not only by your classmates, but also by members of other classes in the WinK community. Moreover, you should plan to read and respond to comments on, and links to your own blog.
