Instructions for creating a blog post with embedded links and files

For the research portfolio, you will be submitting multiple documents all in a single post. Please follow these instructions to get everything in there so that it’s easy to read.

Your Unit 2 research reflection (answering the prompt on the assignment sheet) will be the body of the post–just create a post as you usually would on the blog.

  • Title your post with your name and “Research Portfolio”
  • Categorize it as “Research Portfolio”
  • Tag it with [your name], “unit2,” “weekof8/2,” and “portfolio”

Add these PDF file attachments within the same post:

6 different annotations (please post them individually, so I can easily see what’s there)

Your supporting materials: focusing flowchart, complicating your research, and Rounding out the conversation exercises (the same things you submitted on Bb, but saved as  PDFs and attached here)

Here’s how to do this:

  • prepare your documents
    • save each annotation individually as a PDF (this makes them easier to read because they will just open without a download)–you can do this in Word or Pages or Google Docs in the “Save As” options
    • use clear and direct file names (i.e. the title of the text you’re discussing or something like “Annotation #1”)
  • once your files are ready to upload
    • click on the “+” button to add a block
    • scroll down through the Blocks menu to the “Media” section
    • choose “File” and then “Select Files”
    • choose the first file that you’re uploading, and click “Open”
  • you’ll see your file as an embedded link, listed by its file name
  • click “Enter” to move to a new line

Repeat this process for each of the file attachments (there should be at least 9 attachments–6 annotations and then 1 for your focusing flowchart, 1 for complicating your research, and 1 for Rounding out the conversation)

Embed a link to your Research Plan post:

  • locate your Research Plan post (updated if need be to reflect current direction of your project)
  • copy the url
  • click the “+” to add a block
  • scroll down through the Blocks menu to “Embeds”
  • click on “WordPress”
  • paste the copied url into the text editor window, and click “Embed”

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Unit 2 assignment

Now that we’ve built a foundation of knowledge about organizational culture, it’s time to take part in some of these ongoing discussions. We’ll be using the analogy of research as conversation throughout the remaining units—we will be both listening and ‘talking.’ 

Your work in this Unit will build toward 2 written products–a research plan that will guide your work, and a portfolio that will constitute the foundation for that work. Please read through the overview linked below.

You can also download the Unit 2 assignment sheet and schedule on Blackboard.
