these posts<\/a> from the UK group (and don’t forget to credit anyone whose ideas you draw upon!)<\/p>\nHere are some general thoughts on \u201craising the bar\u201d for topic 3 with regard to your blogs and your overall approach to the module, now that we are half way through the course:<\/p>\n
Include your \u201crecent posts\u201d in a column of your blog, so it is easy for the reader to navigate between them. A \u201ccomments feed\u201d is also a good idea, and an \u201cAbout\u201d page.<\/p>\n
Be creative \u2013 rely less on text. For example, use pictures\/diagrams\/videos\/embedded tweets to illustrate a point rather than a long verbal description. There is no \u201cone best way\u201d but learn from what you like about how other students have approached the task (once again, don\u2019t forget to credit them!)<\/p>\n
Make links where relevant between the various topics we are covering, to demonstrate how your understanding is developing through the module.<\/p>\n
Some of you are making good use of twitter in terms of highlighting your posts and encouraging others to comment on them to further the debates. But you can take this further \u2013 make more strategic use of twitter by sharing resources that will be of use of others in the group and that they might not normally have access to.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d also like to see more engagement with people beyond the module \u2013 if you have drawn upon someone\u2019s work in your post \u2013 tweet them a link to it and thank them. You can\u2019t guarantee a response of course but you never know! Often these things work indirectly \u2013 you might not get the immediate benefit you were hoping for, but it all helps to boost your visibility and other connections may develop.<\/p>\n
And don’t forget the marketing perspective – a phrase we hear a lot these days is “if a service is free, you are the product”. Think about it…!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Thanks to all of you for some excellent discussions about online identity. Yes it is a huge area and impossible for one person to cover everything, but I hope you agree that collectively the group has produced a variety of interesting perspectives and resources on the topic. You are allowed to be decisive though! You don’t have to agree with …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":73492,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1033706],"tags":[4671],"class_list":["post-444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-feedback-2014","tag-mang2049","column","threecol"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/mang2049\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/mang2049\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/mang2049\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/mang2049\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73492"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/mang2049\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/mang2049\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":448,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/mang2049\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444\/revisions\/448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/mang2049\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/mang2049\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/mang2049\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
