Professional Blog - Project 4

As you may recall from the syllabus each of you will produce a professional blog as one of the requirements for successful completion this course. I have placed a handout entitled "Professional Blog Instructions" under Class Handouts on the right. Review these instructions and if you have not already, get started on your professional blog. We will review these instructions in class on Monday night.

Also, I have placed a link to Dr. Strange's Professional Blog under Other EDM 310 Blogs on the right. This is an excellent example of what your professional blog should be like.
