Assignment 1: Create a personal blog and add a comment to the class homepage/blog

• Create a personal blog here on Blogger for use throughout this course. Over the course of the next couple classes you will be adding to and personalizing your blog. Througout the course, all compositions and projects that you complete will be posted to your personal blog and shared with the rest of the class in that manner.
• Go to the welcome post on the class blog and introduce yourself to the rest of the class using the comment feature on the blog. Tell us a bit about yourself including major, instrument/voice part, long-term aspirations, and something interesting about you or your life.

Remember that what you post on a blog becomes public information. Remember that all of you are here to become professionals in your area of concentration. The Internet has a long memory.

Welcome to MUS 204. This blog will serve as the main website for this course. I will regularly post blog topics and interesting links and files. Please check this page regularly for updates and assignments.

This term we will be doing a lot of cool projects (hopefully) here in the tech lab. We will be using technology to compose, arrange, notate, record, and to create a public presence for you as a musician or music educator.

Part of your first assignment is to add a comment to this post and write a short introduction of yourself to the rest of the class. After you have created your own blog here on Blogger, please return and introduce yourself as a comment to this post.

See you in class,

Dr. Ruthmann
