You may be wondering how much blogging to do along with your extensive reading for this course.
The chart on the right shows roughly how many blog posts you can expect to produce in twelve weeks if you write three, five or seven times a week (click on the chart for a closer look).
For starters, if you write one quick post in class (see topic/timer on the wiki), two or three short impressions of books you've read or movies you've seen, and one or two more posts telling about an interesting link, you'll have five already!
Thoughtful comments or helpful suggestions on other peoples' blogs are always welcome. For example, you can start with a comment on this blog post: Learning to Blog; Blogging to Learn. Then browse the Wink site to visit blogging neighbors' blogs.
However, the quality of your posts is just as important as the quantity. To balance and reflect extensive reading (ER), your blog posts should grow not only in length and number, but also in sophistication.
Your weekly blog posts should reflect what you have selected and read from the ER collections in the library. Your blog writing and comments on others' blogs also should show what you've learned from reading and reviewing blogs of classmates and other blogging community members.
