HIST348: Peoples of Kansas

1. One member of each group needs to adjust the settings on their blog so that comments on posts will appear immediately and will not sit in a queue waiting for approval. To do this, sign in to your Dashboard, go to “Settings” (bottom of the left sidebar), then “Discussion,” and uncheck both boxes under the heading “Before a comment appears.” Also make sure that the last box under “Default article settings” is checked. This needs to be done as soon as possible.
2. The one-paragraph description of your digital narrative topic is due on Thursday. This paragraph should give the basics–the who, what, where, when, and why–of your project. It must be uploaded on Blackboard by 4pm sharp, and you should bring a hard copy to class. To upload it go to Blackboard, and under the heading for HIST348 go to “Assignments” and upload the file under the title “Digital Narrative Project Description.” If you only turn in one format (only the hard copy, or vice versa), you will not receive full credit.
3. If you have not been added to a blogging group or have questions about the technical specs of the blogging assignment, come see me during my office hours, T/TH 3:00-3:45.
