Instructions for posting

The instructor will post a general question relating to the election every 2 weeks. Students need to post once every 2 weeks and need to respond to another student's post once every two weeks. (Therefore 4 original posts in our 9 week term and 4 response posts.) Posts need to be intelligent and in depth. They should be spell checked and proof read. Students should consider this as publishing their opinions. Students need to stand behind what they say and will be held responsible for what they post. Posts should not attack individual posters and should not use language that would not be appropriate in a classroom discussion. Student who do not post responsibly will have their posting rights taken away by the moderator (the teacher).

getting your news

Just an FYI, on itunes you can download for free podcasts from the candidates. I found podcasts from Clinton, Obama & Paul. Also there are a lot of election focused shows that you can download on CNN, NPR, etc. So if you aren't someone who likes to read or if you're a student who is glued to your ipod... you can keep up with this election! Enjoy!
