Are you ready to rumble?

OK, so now you've seen the project and have a basic sense of how your philosophical investigations will go for the next few weeks.

The goal for today is to make sure your blog is fully equipped to assist you on your journey.

Here is your checklist:

1- Make sure you know how to get to the class blog and to your blog.  You will need to be reading and using both of them every day.  Set them as favorites in your browser.  View them on your phone.  However is best for you!

2- Make sure your blog is listed on the class blog.  If you see a link with your name, click it to make sure it works.  If it isn't there, please send me an e-mail with your URL.

3- Add a "link list" gadget to your blog.  I will walk through how to do this and give you a few blogs to add to it.  Also, please add a link to the class blog (dhsseniors12.blogspot.com) and to turnitin.com.  This set of short cuts will be essential as you move ahead.

4- Write a post.  I'll walk us through how to do this as well.  The topic for today is your first thoughts on what your philosophical question might be.  Look at the lists I gave you as well as the powerpoint I showed in class, both of which are available on the class blog.  This doesn't commit you to anything, but rather is practice in using the post function and getting the ball rolling.

Good luck!
