Creating a “History” Page

Using the NSCA’s informative brochure, I tried to create an engaging, clear and concise history of the Sudanese conflict. Take a look! I struggled with tense because “Sudan”–as a country containing the southern region–doesn’t exist anymore. There’s Sudan and the Republic of Southern Sudan now. Additionally, I should find more statistics on the refugee/immigration rates. Hope everyone’s implementation is going well!.

Check out my chapter on “Trolling!” I chose to upload it onto a “page” in my WordPress. The format was easier to deal with than GoogleDocs. Troll away!

All quiet on the Midwestern Front

It’s a little quiet around here these days so I thought I would post an excerpt from my chapter, “Active Citizenship in a Digital World“.

In this segment of my chapter, I discuss an article entitled “Small Change: Why the revolution will not be Tweeted” written by the great Malcolm Gladwell and why I think he is completely on the wrong side of history on the issue.

I know we are all extremely busy with the paper, mid-terms, etc. so I want you to know how awesome you would be if you managed to make time to read a small part and make a comment or two!

Cheers!
