In order to combine modern technology and course curriculum, I think it would be beneficial to use blogs consistently throughout the whole year. Each student can create and maintain their own individual blog and use it as a platform to submit all major assignments. Their blogs would have multiple components:
- a page to turn in all major papers
- a page specifically for journaling or free writes
- a page to continue class discussions or thoughts brought up in class
- a page to ask questions or clarify class assignments or expectations
