Welcome

On this blog, I will write my way through the course. We will use Blackboard (BB) for the usual stuff--readings, announcements, course materials--but we will each use our blogs to record our thoughts and insights about traditions, innovations, theories, theorists, futures, and more, having to do with rhetoric, culture, and communication in a Digital Age. Note that I'm using "communication" instead of "writing." I'm sure you know why, but we'll talk about this.

Feel free to comment on my posts at any time.

You should enter blog posts on your own blog for weekly readings, topics for which you are the discussion leader, and your own project. Members of the class will comment on your blogs, especially on weeks when you are leading discussion. You will be a member of a team and your team members may give your blog special attention. You can also attract other comments from anywhere, depending on your own preferences.

At some point, we will consider efficiency, e.g., should we use BB's discussion board or blogs or both? We are ALL busy.
