Top Posts of Digital Civilization Classmates

My Digital Civilization teachers have asked me to nominate some of the best blog posts of my classmates from this past semester.

I really enjoyed Rhett Ferrin's post on the Atomic Age.  His post is a great example of self directed learning.  Rhett's post connected well to its readers and gathered in a number of comments.  It did this not only by being interesting but by making connections to our day and the nuclear threat that America has from Iran.  Another of my favorite post's from Rhett is his post on economics.  The great part about this post is just how informative it is.  It really shows Rhett's self directed learning and it shows that Rhett was really interested in the topic he was writing about.

I thought Kristen's blog about Modernism and Common Sense was a great example of tying digital concepts to the topic we were learning at the time.  This post is also great because of the way it is written.  It is engaging, attracts your attention and asks questions of the reader.  In the post Kristen also links to other blogs, and sites - good connecting.

As far as having good historical content, I think Shuan Pai did a great job in her post about working women in the industrial revolution.  This post really showed that Shuan had done self directed learning because of all the information written in the post.  The post was also attractive with photos, comics, clip-art and a YouTube video.  This post also garnered some attention by other classmates because it was so informative.

These are just a few of the countless good posts that my classmates put up.
