(EDITED POST!!!>>>: When you create your blog, please use your name or first name last initial so it's easier to figure out whose it is. And if you can keep your postings focused on ART279...that would be awesome ;-)

Besides starting your own Vox Blog (and/or customizing your banner by clicking on Change Your Design> Personalized then uploading a 940 pixels wide x 200 pixels high image), please:

1. Contribute to or start a VoiceThread
(Remember, it's best to have one person per group start the thread, then invite the other members of your old IM180 group to the VT (please also invite us teachers). If you only see your own VT, it's because you haven't invited the others to it, or have to allow others to comment and participate. Check your settings.

Create an identify(s) or avatar for yourself In this VT (again, use your name so it's not so hard for us to know who you are.

Discuss your Hard Skills and Soft Skills.
Try out the text comments, record an audio or video message, and even the doodling.

By the way, Hard Skills are usually classified as the technical skills you have to get a job done (software, use equipment, drive a truck, operate machinery, keyboarding, editing, drawing, etc.)
Soft Skills are interpersonal skills and personality traits (negotiating, detail-oriented, positive attitude, follow through).

Here's our VT that we showed in class today. Stay tuned for more from JD and David:
