Blog post guidelines

Your regular I School account should allow you to log in to the course blog and post a new entry. Please use the “Visualizations” category label. Submissions [highlight]must include a screenshot/embed and link to the visualization[/highlight] as well as at least one paragraph critiquing its effectiveness and/or tying it into what we cover in lectures and labs. Click “Preview” to review your entry before posting to make sure it reads well and looks good (once posted, ensure it also looks good on the homepage). If you do not have an I School account, or you have any trouble logging in, please talk to Galen (gpanger@ischool). Also make sure you have uploaded an image/avatar for yourself (go to Users > Your Profile and scroll to the bottom).

Commenting

You’ll also gain participation points for commenting on your classmates’ posts with your own reactions, comments and critiques. Good critiques take note of the choices and selections made by the visualization’s designer in light of his or her objective(s).
