Assignment #12

What is Beauty?

Description:
Seeking the answer to this proverbial question has launched life long quests for writers, artists and musicians.  Perhaps a better questions to ask is, "Have I developed aesthetic sensibilities?" or, "Did I have sincere aesthetic intention when adding to my online presence?"  The coming weeks will challenge each student's notion of beauty...some will thrive while others will struggle!  

Upload a post to your blog that contains the following:

#1) A written, detailed description of your criteria for what beauty is. 300-500 words.

#2) 10 Images taken from the web  that meet your criteria for beauty.


Due Monday: 1/28/13

Gasp...Last Semester Refresh!!!!!

Dear Friends,

As we make a push toward second semester, the following steps must be taken to "refresh" Digital Journaling class.  Taking each step will ensure a successful second semester.  Great websites are in the works...let's finish strong!

#1)  All content saved on a personal thumb drive. (Utilize desktop folder then save to thumb drive)

#2)  All assignments completed on one blog site linked to our new DJ website. (Separate from website)
                                                  
#3)  Each assignment completed by specified deadline. (a grade -or-"0" recorded in PS at deadline!)

#4)  ALL posts removed from class blog!!!  Class blog to be used only for assignments from instructor!

#5)  Students with multiple websites/blogs (aside from blog for assignments) must CLEARLY link
       entities to one primary site that is then linked to our new DG website.

#6)  No more camera issues!  Email images from phone, borrow a camera, buy a camera, update
       software, reformat, use a different computer....take the time to do whatever needs to be done!  No  
       excuses accepted!


love,
Mr. D
