Genius Hour Blog #1
A blog (shortened from the phrase “weblog”) is a website or a web page that is updated on a regular basis with content that the readers of the blog can find inspirational or educational.
Genius hour: The search-engine giant, Google, allows its engineers to spend 20% of their time to work on any pet project that they want. The idea is very simple. Allow people to work on something that interests them, and productivity will go up. Google’s policy has worked so well that it has been said that 50% of Google’s projects have been created during this creative time period.
For this assignment,
Students will compose 4 blog posts over the course of the semester. This activity gives you a chance to practice writing during a dedicated period of time to develop your passions, interests, and questions in a creative way. Once a month, you will write a topical or thematic blogs on the topics that you ‘geek out’ about. You choose the topic, choose the format, including which video, audio, and text you would like to include.
For uploading photos, Unsplash is a really cool community, where photographers upload photos that are free for your use so you’re not breaking any Copyright restrictions. I will show you how to use it in class.
Use the discussion option on Canvas to post your blog. If you would like to use Blogger, Tumblr or WordPress instead, please include a link to your blog page on your discussion post (make sure users don’t have to sign in). Do NOT attach your blog as a file.
