My blog post nomination

Here are a few blog post nominations that I feel have been very well put together.

1.  I was really impressed with Shuan Pai's article titled: "How Did All This Get Here?"  Shuan does an excellent job at tying in history with common political activity, focusing on civilizations as a whole.  She  uses attractive images to draw the reader in and throws in humor throughout.  It is evident she knows her topic well and backs it up with her own personal opinion on the subject matter.

  •  Learning outcome addressed:  Self-Directed Learning & Historical Content


2.  The next blog I'd like to give a shout-out to was written by Alex Gunnarson titled: "Master (Almost) Any Software with lynda.com".  Alex covers the site lynda.com really in-depth and provides multiple large images designed to walk the reader through a visual tutorial of how to work with and use the site to learn a very wide range of software programs and online tools.  He also provides a link to a video that shows you an example of what a typical lynda.com tutorial consists of.

  •  Learning outcome addressed:  Computing Content
3.  The last blog I'd like to address is one that specializes in showing the personality of the individual.  It's written by Jeffrey Chen and titled: "Contemplating..."  In this post Jeffrey introduces who he is and what his ambitions are.  He uses a distinct and fun style to his writing including words in ALL CAPS and a lot of exclamation marks.  One fun line I like is found in the middle of his post where he writes:

  "Three "Enters" here, to allow you time to let all this coolness sink in...we good? moving on."
  • Learning outcome addressed:  Digital Culture via word choice and writing style.
