Create a discussion post that shares a bit of who you are using a Multi MEdia Introduction like mine. Use at least 2 forms of media (written, photo, video, etc.) Mine is in PowerPoint format, but this isnt required. You could also use a word document, create a video (small file or link to YouTube), or other creative formats. The goal is for you to introduce yourself and be creative: you don't have to focus solely on the basic introductory items (personal background, major, hobbies, etc.). You may provide unique/interesting details of your life. Make sure you include why you are taking this class or what they hope to get out of it. Finally, make sure you view your classmates introductions and make at least 2 SUBSTANTIVE replies to other classmates presentations. Check out the MultiMEdia Introduction Rubric (attached to this post) and the Discussion Board Rubric (for information on the meaning of a substantive reply).
