Follow Up to Initial Blogpost
The student's second blogpost should follow up on what was posted in the inital blog. This could be accomplished through the use of a segue - a strategic transition that might remind the returning blog reader of what was previously shared. Not every blog will be conducive to the use of segues/transitions, so do not dwell on trying to create anything that seems "unnatural" to you, just for the purpose of having what you perceive to be a segue.
This second blogpost, once posted, should be followed by the student's sharing of his/her link to their blog in the graded discussion event designated as "Part 2 of 4"; share the link only after posting the first two blogposts. It is your instructor's hope that we will be able to continue face-to-face instruction regardless of Omicron variant, and that we will be able to actively share and discuss posts with each other, both online and inside the UAC 506 lab facility during class session(s). The trepidation that might be perceived in the tone of my writing is due to recent events dutifully reported in the Korea Times, one article about COVID-19 vaccine fear and a second warning people that the worst is yet to come. The government has instilled fear in the hearts of many South Koreans who now believe that as many as 370,000 confirmed cases daily is on the way due to Omicron. My hope is that this does not lead to mandating that our course be changed from face-to-face instruction to an IVC mode (virtual, lectures mediated through Zoom) while retaining the synchronous learning aspect. It just felt so much more refreshing to see students in real life in the lab...and gain some sense of a return to normalcy as a result. Let's hope there are no outbreaks detected at the Incheon Global Campus. I am hoping you are starting the practice of following the Korean English language newspapers and their reportage - including the events related to the possibility of another world war - conflict in Ukraine that involves its residents and neighboring Russia. These threats outside of the local region often affect what transpires in your own country. No man/woman is an island - we need to interact with others and we need to develop good communication habits (that include improving your blogging and recruiting followers). Your instructor will prompt you to respond to blog postings from the person before and after you (alphabetically, in the class roster - Section 302 - 1 pm; Section 303 2 pm/a>), as well as one other student of your own choice. There is announcement on CANVAS stressing this obligation, to be completed withinb one week.
