1. Shawn Cornally’s Let’s Go Camping with ThThTh

This post discussed to ways of assigning work to students. One of the ways was “arbitrary.” This is where you give the students an assignment with a deadline. The other way would be where you give assignments and have the student turn them in when they feel that it is complete. My opinion was that you need to set deadlines so that every student in the class is working on the same assignment at the same time. I do like Mr. Cornally’s way of giving the assignment back to a student if he feels they could have done better rather than just giving them a bad grade. If we give students work and they rush though it, they aren’t gaining what they need. By giving it back to the student to complete they can go back and correct their mistakes in their spare time. Mr. Cornally had some good thoughts in this post. I really enjoyed this and wouldn’t have thought about this on my own.

2. Do students understand their ‘digital footprint’ and how it can affect their employability? By David Hopkin

This is a topic that every student needs to think about. Some people who are using social media do not realize the affects it may have on their future. This is something that employers may look at and have a major impact on their opinion of you. When leaving a “digital footprint” you have to be extremely careful about what you say. You never know who may see it and the difference it can make on your future.
