2. BLOG POST

 

I would like you to introduce yourself to the group as your first assignment. The purpose of doing so is to introduce yourself so that others can get to know you individually. Compose a short letter that includes the following information:

1. Your background (the kind of work you do, your experience using technology).
2. Career plans or goals that relate to this course, if any.
3. Why you enrolled in this course and what you hope to accomplish with it.
4. A statement about yourself that will help us to remember you from the many other students in the course. The statement should focus on what is unique about you.
