Guiliano explores types of assignments that move away from or disrupt traditional analog history work. This can include pairing writing with another form of information distribution - this can include digital forms or more tactile, creative forms. Examples include the unessay, digital micro-project (splitting up parts of the whole project among multiple groups/individuals), and the multicourse digital project. A large theme of these kinds of assignments was giving students more autonomy in the direction and completion of their assignment. Guiliano also offers a form of "redemption" for students who didn't complete the assignment - putting these students in a group together to give them a chance to complete the assignment, without the fear of individual failure. This ensures these students still get the experience of accomplishing the goals of the assignments.

There was an emphasis on proper terminology being utilized by students. Furthermore, the author was also not afraid to allow her students to fail, so that she could then help them in locating specific functions and resources.

It seems as though the chapter has several parallels with our activities in class. Especially when one considers how Omeka is being utilized. Another interesting aspect can be seen in the utilization of media such as photographs. It adds another layer to the project and promotes human connection.

The assignment where students create a project centered around their family history may prove to be problematic for students who may have some issues within familial relationships. It is well-intentioned but could prove problematic. However, alternatives were presented throughout the chapter. Another issue may emerge with the projects being completed over multiple semesters. It may cause confusion for incoming groups of students not familiar with the project.

Saxton's article explores how to use editing Wikipedia articles as a tool for learning in the classroom. It acts as a double tool for students to look for ways in which women have been marginalized in the historical synopsis of many topics, and defend their inclusion. One useful aspect from her article is teaching students that the "objectiveness" of Wiki does is nonexistent, and that information regarding women has a barrier to entry of something considered to be a "collective" product.

Warner emphasizes the importance of getting students in the habit of writing more often than just for assignments at the end of units. Along with the "low stakes" assignments, Warner mentions how structuring writing in classes as production-based rather than quality-based allows students to get much more practice writing. This can help students be more comfortable with writing and make it more approachable. One useful aspect of this article is the practice of implementing low-stakes writing assignments as much as you can, as this will gradually take away the fear that students have towards writing, ultimately preparing them for higher-stakes writing down the road.

Classroom Blogs: Your Easy Guide to Incorporating Them into Lesson Plans

# data[].attributes.body
This article focused on using a classroom blog to invite a less traditional, but creative and useful method for teaching and assignment. The author, a high school history teacher Mr. Fowler, uses his classroom blog to facilitate discussion, reflection and analysis amongst his students. He states that students love using technology in the classroom, and in his personal experience it keeps them more engaged.

He mentions specific ways he's used his classroom blog, one that stood out to me was the "live" blogging event during the 2016 presidential debate. Students were instructed to log on when the debate started, and respond live to the conversations going on, creating 2 posts of their own, and responding 4x to Mr. Fowler's comments. In this exercise, students were able to quickly reflect on the political conversations taking place, giving their own personal opinions and learning how to communicate with those whose opinions differed.

I really loved this piece, it was easy to understand and provided specific, creative ways to use a blogging website in a classroom setting.
