The Blog-A-Day Challenge is rough. It's meant to be. It forces me to think. The hardest part of the challenge is coming up with something meaningful to write about. I don't just want to re-cap my work day. I want to add to the learning of others.
That said, I worked on my online resume again today. I added links on the Education page back to the College of Education and College of Communications. On the Experience page I added links to the departments I've worked for. On the contact page I added a professional head shot. Finally, I added a Work Samples page and embedded and linked to things I've written, created, or helped to create. I'm going to use the front "home" area to write an objectives section like I'm trying to get the job I have now. These changes are simple but I think (hope) that the changes show students how innovative they can get with their online space.
I'm not sure my additions/changes to my new resume blog really count but in my head they do. I'm taking the time to determine how best to use the platform, and am sharing it with the students of our pilot English 202C sections (an anyone else interested or stumbling upon). I hope this inspires others. I will continue to post updates throughout the month.

I'll say the one a day challenge is tough. When I pulled it off in August I was busy, but nothing like this month. I am struggling a week in ... yikes!
