Week 2, Introduction to blogging

We will be studying how communication is an important part of your success not only in getting the job, but in succeeding at it. Each week, there will be an assignment related to the textbook reading and lecture. Read the postings by your classmates as well as posting your own response.

Between now and 5 p.m. Friday, January 16, enter a comment on this post. Your comment can be as simple as "hello everyone" or as detailed as you wish. See the instructions on the right side of the screen if you are new to blogging. For this week only, you will receive five points for participation. The goal is to be sure you are registered and able to participate on this blog before the formal blogging assignments begin in Week 3 (January 19 through January 23). Once the formal assignments begin, you will be able to earn up to 10 points depending on the quality of your response. Feel free to scroll down and click on "archives" to see what other students in previous classes have written.

Jamie said...

Hello! First time blogger here and it gets a little confusing between Business Writing and Business Communications!

Unknown said...

Hi. I'm Theresa and I'm from Eau Claire. Jamie, I know what you mean. I'm in both classes too, so it's going to be interesting keeping things straight. Good luck to both of us, I guess.

Hi. My name is Keri Bradford. I posted a longer blog on Erica's writing page so I'll keep it short here. My son and I both go to Globe and we both graduated (17 years apart) from North High here in Eau Claire. I also have two other children: Jake is 20 and Jenna is 10. Blogging seems fun, I'm looking forward to it.

Meanwhile, the level of support and encouragement from the Globe staff, is key to the learning process. Heartfelt thanks to all of you for making this a campus, of learning and fun!!!

Hello everyone,
My name is Cassie. I am originally from Eau Claire, but have lived in various places in Wisconsin. I currently live south of Thorp, and it’s a long drive to the middle of nowhere. This is my second quarter at Globe. I am attending school to become a Medical Assistant. I would like to further my education in the future. I currently have two cats, three dogs and seven horses. I ride, train and show horses. I have a few horses coming in for training this spring, so it should be a busy year. In the near future, I hope to move someplace where it doesn’t get below zero in the winter.

Hello everyone! I hope I am doing this right. I am interested in the blogging once I understand it.

Desiree said...

Hello fellow bloggers! Blogging is fun! I would suggest posting your blog early in the week, otherwise you might forget! For Interspersonal Relations class I ended up forgetting then when Friday afternoon came along I was quickly trying to have it posted in time.

Tracy Gifford said...

Hello everyone. I thought I would check to see if I could do this again. See you on Wednesday.

Cassandra said...

Hi everyone. Sorry I'm late. I truly hope I have a much easier time with this thing the rest of this quarter.
