This semes­ter two of my classes are requir­ing that I blog, but nei­ther of them will allow me to use my exist­ing blog. In true blog­ger fash­ion, I’ll be cross­post­ing every­thing here. I per­son­ally think it’s some­what idi­otic I have to do this because I can eas­ily cat­e­go­rize my posts, but it would be irre­spon­si­ble of me to think my pro­fes­sors would be com­pe­tent enough to make an assign­ment they actu­ally under­stood themselves. 

  1. For my Dig­i­tal Art class (FINA D210), I’ll be post­ing here but cross­post­ing with the cat­e­gory “dig­i­tal art”
  2. For my Entre­pre­neur­ship in Infor­mat­ics class (INFO I400), I’ll be post­ing here (may be pri­vate to non-IU view­ers) but cross­post­ing with the cat­e­gory “entreprenership”

Sup­pos­edly, the I400 class is some sort of cap­stone project where I guess they are set­ting up and man­ag­ing a Word­PressMU install :: yawn (please let me know if it’s some­thing more). There is really no excuse for my dig­i­tal art class to have me post else­where (thought about sub­mit­ting this URL and see­ing if she knew the dif­fer­ence). The only rea­son­able expla­na­tion I could think of was that my teacher is orig­i­nally from Tai­wan and I know Blog­ger offers easy-to-use  trans­la­tion tools. 

Bot­tom line, I’ll be blog­ging a lot this semes­ter and I’m excited for that. I have quite a queue of other things I’d like to post, but haven’t found the time. Note to pro­fes­sors requir­ing their stu­dents to blog, let your stu­dents have some free­dom (sure offer them a default like Blog­ger and Word­Press) and just use Google Reader or some other RSS reader to man­age the class. It’s not that hard.
