Read the seven articles (one is just an abstract) and watch the videos listed above.
====A. Set up a personal blog site using Blogger (in the Google family)and write a blog post of at least 500 words in response to these readings (only one blog post, not one for each article). Take a position regarding the benefits and drawbacks of information technology (e.g. computers, internet, digital media). Consider modern life as a whole, but focus on education. Please do not read your classmates' blogs before you write your own. Important: Edit this page and place the link to your blog under the heading below: Post-Assignment Blogs. (If you are not successful in doing that, then email me with the blog link and I will insert it.)====

====C. Write a second blog (500 word minimum) that is a response to your classmate's comments. It is not necessary to respond to every idea point by point, but your second blog should reflect an understanding of the issues they raised.====

====**Note:** Blogs and comments must be complete by **December 16** at the absolute latest. The original post-assignment date is December 10, but we are extending as late as possible because you are getting the assignment later. Because your progress in the assignments depends on your classmates, I strongly urge you to complete the reading and make your **first blog post by December 7**. Comments should be added by **December 14th**, then your second blog posted by the **16th.**====
