Last Assignment...

Aloha block 5 HLC Bloggers,

When you have looked over your rubrics and have accomplished all that is required of you, then make one more post on your blog answering the following question:

WILL YOU CONTINUE TO BLOG ON YOUR OWN FOR YOUR PROJECTS AND PERSONAL USE? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER IN 5 SENTENCES.

Whatever your answer, please realize that the intent of this Basic Skills Workshop is to provide you with the tools necessary to employ/use blogs as final products. As a benefit to you, you have also become accustomed to using email through gmail, embedding various programs such as youtube and playlist.com among many other programs online.

Please let your voice be heard and read through blogs.

By being a member of this course, you each have a lifetime warranty and can contact me through email at anytime for questions and just talking story.

Aloha,
Kumu Feki
