It took me some time this afternoon, but I figured out how to ftp this blog to our campus server. Once I figured out how to do it, I was yet again dazzled by my own stupidity for having any trouble in the first place. Anyway, the process seems relatively simple to present to students, but I'm not sure if we will be using the campus server or the "blogspot" server for the student blogs.

Regardless, students in AEGL 101-26 will be keeping a blog; I'm just not sure how we will apply the blog quite yet, and a lot of that depends upon where the blogs will be stored. For example, we might use them as straightforward blogs to replace the required journal, in which case, we wouldn't need much. On the other hand, students may be able to use their blogs as their entire electronic portfolios ("webfolios"). If this is the case, we would probably want to have them located on our campus server to allow more freedom for images, media files, etc. A lot of this, of course, depends upon whether or not students (or Blogger) will have access to our campus www server. I'm not sure I care. I just want to make some decisions. I've emailed Michael, Jeff and Tom to see what they have to say.

I promise to get this blog caught up on what has happened over the past serveral months leading up to today. As I was working on the web site, though, I decided that I needed to clean up the server and play with the blog a bit more. In short, I was distracted . . . ugh.
