Welcome to our Comp Lit Blog!!

Each week, this blog will present a topic that we'll discuss in the blog, and possibly in class. The blog may or may not relate to what we're working on in class, but will always have something to do with technology - future technology, tech-related current events, online safety and responsible internet usage, jobs in technology.....

Blog Instructions:

You will post your first response to the current topic within a day of its posting. Then, after another day or so, respond to someone else's post. Last, respond to another person's post. (You can respond to the same person, especially if you're in the middle of a discussion/debate with them about the topic!)

PLEASE put some thought into your responses - I'm looking for a short paragraph, or a few sentences, not "Yeah, I agree" or "Dude! Awesome point!" Posts like that get a big fat ZERO points.

Each week's blog is worth a total of 30 points: 

1st response: 10 
respond to two classmates: 20 (10ea) 
Total = 30pts

These points add up - there are at least 10-12 posts throughout the semester, which add up to a decent percentage of your grade! (An EASY percentage.)

Late posts:

Posts are still due if we have a "weather" day (like a snow day) - so don't forget!  : )

If you post after the Friday due date, you can ONLY earn 20 points total. You must still post 3 times to get the 20 points, and there is no credit for a post later than a week after that blog post's due date.

Our first blog post will be Monday, September 10th.

  2. I think Self Driving cars are going to get pretty far, but to be honest, you won't even catch me dead in a driving car. I hardly trust people to drive, let alone a robot. Robots malfunction just like people make mistakes.

    2. i agree with you, i think they are going to become really big, they are already getting popular. i feel like they are going to be a problem because i think theyll be dangerous because maybe the sensors wont work and it will cause an accident.
