You will submit three of your best contributions to the discussions and/or blog. Copy these into the document, along with a 500-word written reflection explaining why they have made a useful contribution to the subject and to the learning of your colleagues. Here are some questions to help you write your reflection piece:1. How did you structure, plan or craft your blog posts so that your ideas were easy to understand?2. How did your blog posts demonstrate an understanding of the subject content?3. How did your blog posts bring new ideas or demonstrate novel insights drawn from the subject content?4. How did your blog posts show that you reflected critically on the conversation (your own thoughts or arguments, learning content, peers responses) in the discussion thread?

Reflection JournalWeekly JournalAt the end of each week (Weeks 01–13), add a well-written, professional entry in a reflective journal. Each entry must include three paragraphs formatted as follows:Summary of the main ideas and topics of the week.A response to a specific reading, video, or activity. For instance, did something spark interest, surprise, anger, inspiration, or confusion? Reference the content, add your thoughts, and explain your reaction.Respond to the weekly prompt.BlogsYou may create a blog for your journal entries using the blog technology of your choice. If this is your first blog, two recommended platforms are Blogger.comLinks to an external site. and Wordpress.comLinks to an external site..Blogger.com is easy, user-friendly, and owned by Google, so if you already have a Google account, Blogger will be an easy site to sign up. It also has some advantages for businesses because Google combs your sites and make them easier for people to find using Google.WordPress.com is a little harder to use simply because it has a lot more options, yet this is precisely why it is used by many online businesses. WordPress allows you to make a whole website and not just a blog. There is also an open-source version that allows you to change any and all of the code behind the scenes. So it has many options and is considered more professional. Google combs these sites as well. They are just on different servers so it might take a bit longer.Final ReflectionYou submit the Final Reflection in Week 14.
