One of the benefits of writing on a blog vs. on paper is the ability to hyperlink text. I'm including two short videos below that explain some of the basics of blogging and why hyperlinks are important (and useful).
The first video explains blogging "In Plain English." We will be making videos in this style this year with some simple animation tools. Even if you know some of this stuff about blogs and the web, it's helpful to review so that we're all on the same page.
The second video is Jay Rosen of NYU explaining why hyperlinks (linking content to original sources on the web) are important. Including hyperlinks in your blog posts is a good way to add depth, accuracy, sources, and additional content. They inform the reader and make your blog post a more reliable source of information.
