BLOG POST PROJECT 01
(due: Tuesday, February 25. This is graded with your project)
Part 1: Post the link to your slides.
Part 2: Select and answer one of the questions we discussed during the presentations in one or two paragraphs, no more. This question does not need to be one of your questions. When answering consider that you should agree or disagree, then explain your answer, and finally provide an example or evidence to support your answer. You can expand on something you already said during the discussion or something completely new that you understood after listening other perspectives.
