Thurs@3: Blogs and Blogging

All Faculty and Staff are invited to the Thurs@3@Addlestone sessions, but LCWA folks are especially invited, as your own Jerry Spiller frequently represents the Language Resource Center as a presenter. We've enjoyed your presence at our first sessions, and would love to see more of you there at these twice-monthly sessions.

From collaborators Jared Seay and Jolanda-Pieta van Arnhem comes this description of our next informational session on blogs and blogging:

A blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent “post” (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom.

(from What is a blog? )

Since this definition tells you absolutely nothing useful about blogs, you should register for the next Addlestone Thursday @3 session and find out the answers to these tantalizing questions:

• What is a blog? (Jerry's note: this very page is one)
  
• How can I get one?
• How can I make one (with the new CofC blog thing)?
• Why would I want to?
• How can it help me teach, learn and communicate?
• How come everybody at the College has a blog (on the CofC blog thing) except me?

Register by sending an email to thurs3@gmail.com.

(Jerry's note: Don't forget to register, especially for this one - so we can request that the webmaster have your blog account ready beforehand!)
