Changing your username on the wiki

1. Under profile, change your email address to a non-SMC email (this "frees" your SMC email for another profile).
2. Create a new profile on Wetpaint (i.e. start over).
3. Use a first-name only or non-SMC login name *with* your SMC email.
4. Request to be added to the site as a writer, or I will do so automatically.

Aquinas Lecture

The Aquinas lecture will take place next Wednesday evening, January 28th at 7:00 in the Student Center Lounge. Fr. John Jenkins will be speaking, and the title of the talk is "Faith, Inquiry, and Community." The talk will focus on the legacy of Aquinas as it relates to the challenges of 21st-century Catholic colleges, a topic that holds distinct relevance for students and faculty of Saint Mary's College. Please consider attending and blogging about your reactions to the talk.

Wiki Plan

Since class was cut a little short today, I wanted to remind you of a few important details. For Tuesday's class, please:
1. Start designing your eFolio page
2. Enter your group's notes on Cantos 18-25 (today's reading) on the Dante Notes page
3. Fill in the 3 slots you would like to choose for the wiki class notes

If you have any questions about how to use the wiki, you can consult my wiki resources page or the wiki "how to" sheet I handed out in class.

Along with our discussion of the conclusion of The Inferno on Tuesday, we'll go over the second "technological" component of this class--your blog! Enjoy your weekends, and careful what you eat while you read about the ninth circle...

Ciao!

Welcome!

Welcome to the HUST Colloquium blog for the literature of the Renaissance and Reformation. On it, I will post announcements, discussion questions for reading, suggestions for assignments, and other resources relevant to your work this semester. Additionally, there will be a list of "bloggers" (all of you!) on the lefthand side of the screen where you can access one another's blogs once they've been created. Details about all of this will follow, but feel free to familiarize yourself with blogger (Google's blogging site) and the links offered here.
