It is easy to make a link to something in our blog or to something outside of it. Here’s how:
1.highlight text to link and then click the link symbol in the bar above the post
2. a box will open and you can insert a URL there OR you can click on the settings wheel to the right of the box and it will show you a list of all posts and pages on the blog !
I think linking really helps us all to navigate the blog well, so when it makes sense, link!
Here is a first draft of our commitments, based on the lists you wrote on the board:
Storytelling and Identity Fall 2023 Community Agreements
We commit to ground our community in respect. We will do this by:
- Saying hi and checking in with each other before class, using each others names
- Listening to hear first, and waiting to think of a response
- Not interrupting when someone is speaking
- Showing that we are listening by keeping eyes open to give full attention, and not looking at computer or phone while someone is talking.
- Avoiding side conversations when someone is talking
- Not leaving the classroom for a break unless absolutely necessary; being on time and not leaving early
We commit to learn together by:
- Checking Weekly Schedule and preparing for the class to come by doing the assignment there (reading or writing or listening) and posting a prep note on the blog
- Helping each other in and outside of class
- Bringing the text to class so we can be specific and analytical
- Taking good class notes and responding when assigned
- Valuing ideas, staying curious and open
- Looking for opportunities to respond and give appropriate feedback (acting as a peer, or as a reader of a draft, etc. but not as a judge)
I added this:
Professor Dolson commits to:
- be available for office appointments
- facilitate class discussion
- post assignments to weekly schedule at least 48 hours in advance of class
- always make a rubric available for any graded item
- listen
- call students by their preferred name
- give feedback when asked
Every time you create a post on the blog, you need to select two categories: one is your name, and the second is the type of post you are adding. Is it a post to share before class? That is a prep note. Is it a reflection post after you have had a community based learning experience? That is “Experiential Reflection.” You can post a WordPress tip if you have one! You can also post something you think the whole class needs to know as Announcement.
But always always categorize it by your name too.
When you go back into the blog, you might notice that you can’t find that handy tool bar at the top of the blog that has the “+New” link.
Where is the admin toolbar?
If you don’t see it, that means you have gone into the blog from the front face and you haven’t logged into the WP system. To log in, you need to be at the dashboard. GO TO: blog.richmond.edu
Then in the upper right corner you can click to login. Once you are logged in, the bar appears.
As I was doing a bit in class, it can be helpful while you are getting used to the blog to have one tab open to the dashboard view and one tab open to the blog view.
We had 4 sessions together last week. Please put a comment to this post which tells 3 things you remember from the week (be as specific as you can)
