The podcast for Week One (Introduction to 518) is now available. I have posted it to the Internet Archive, a resource of public domain and Creative Commons videos, images, and audio files, and embedded it below:
The Internet Archive, which we will discuss in further detail later this semester, is a great resource for public domain resources that you can embed in your blog posts or on your web pages, audio files, including a vast collection of Grateful Dead bootlegs (if you're into that sort of thing), and videos. Their videos include a large number of early films including many of Edison's shorts and a number of public service government films (including instructional videos from the 1950s on how to date and on how to survive a nuclear war. They also provide access to "Open Library,"where you can access thousands of books for free.
For this week, you should create your free blog on Blogger or Word Press and post the link in the appropriate section of Blackboard. Do keep in mind that blogs are searchable, so if you don't want the blog to be associated with your name, you should consider using a pseudonym. You can generally change this later if you decide to use this blog as a professional page.
