Blog Post: Due on Wed, April 24
Our final blog assignment for the semester is not a difficult one! The goal is simply to make a brief post giving your research question and the stance you have taken. These can be taken directly from your outline when it's finished, and the purpose is to give your classmates a place to give you feedback on your project.
1. What was your research question?
2. What is your argument/position/thesis? (In other words, how did you answer your research question?)
3. Provide a link to your presentation if possible (and if you so choose; this is not required.)
If you choose to make a Powerpoint, you can upload it to slideshare.net to make it available for others to see.

Blog Homework due 4/11
Please learn about and explore at least two platforms you could use for the final project
Prezi
Weebly
Google Sites (Google Sites overview)
Wix
Or something else
What are the pros and cons of each one? Do you like using it?
Using one of the platforms, create an example project/site with your name and class (My example: "Andrew Walsh's LIBR 1101 Final Project"). Fill the front page with some brief background text about your research topic.
Post a link to this example project in your blog post.
After doing this exercise, what platform (Physical poster, digital presentation, or website) do you think you might choose for your final poster?
Do you have any other ideas of ways to present your research to your classmates in a visually-appealing way?
