Today in both of my classes, we continued to get our blogs and RSS feeds ready on Bloglines. It seems that when we set up our blogs, we have to give it a title. Otherwise, we continue to get a message to set up our "clip blog." I've inputted all of the blog addresses so far and can read what the students are writing.

Citation is our bibliography and note-taking application. It's pretty easy to input the information. Plus there's a "tutor" to follow and remind us how to do it. Perhaps the difficult part will be to download and install the program. It's a large program and takes some time to download. The second difficult part will be to print out the bibliography and notes. We need access to a computer that has the program, so it has to be done either on our own computer or on one of the computers in CAS 304 or 306. Probably these will have some open times, especially Monday and Wednesday during college hour (3:30-5:00 pm). But there may be other times, too. One good thing about Citation is that I can keep all of my notes in it and search for them when I need to re-read them.

This is the last day that we take the entire class for these electronic tools. If we have questions, we need to ask our classmates or the teacher (either by email or in his office). Next week, we start reading our textbooks and begin our path to better writing.
