Last week we talked through a blogging assignment in class. In today’s class I reviewed the guidelines for that activity (see below).
Guidelines for last week’s blogging activity:
- Choose one of the three activities you completed last week (see the bulleted list in the Week Three post); compose a 500 word reflection on that activity that involves outside research.
- As you cite sources be sure to name and hyperlink to them (Learning how to hyperlink to other web locations in a blog post is an important skill to learn; if you don’t know how to do it yet, do a Google search on creating hyperlinks in a WordPress post.)
- Choose an image to serve as the first image a user sees (Avoid, however, using the “Featured Image” button; instead just add the image onto the page before the text.)
- In choosing your image, be sure to conform to my ethical image selection criteria, described in class and also in this blog post.
When you are finished, submit your work in the Weeks 3/4 Blogging Activity thread in the #activities channel. Be sure to follow the instructions at the top of that thread which read: “Provide a one sentence description of the argument that you make in your blog post and provide the hyperlink to that post.”
In class, I extended the deadline of this activity. Its due date is now Friday, 9/6.
For next week:
Decide on a specific ethical dimension/dilemma related to genAI that you’d like to understand better. Research the topic widely with sources that relate that that problem or feature; choose four sources to discuss in class. Two of them should be academic sources; two of them need not be (but should have appropriate ethos for research in this course; that usually means that the source originates with journalists, non-profit researchers, or government/legal resources). Have hyperlinks to those sources ready when we start class on Monday, 9/9.
If you’d like a visual reminder of possible ethical dimensions/dilemmas, here are the notes I took in class last week:
