Basecamp
- We will be using Basecamp to organize your research, to demonstrate how to use these kinds of platforms for organizing work.
- Create a To Do list for each of your blog posts.
- Assign it to yourself
- Create specific things that you want to do, places you want to check for data, questions that you want to answer.
- Use the commenting section to link to resources, upload scans or other files, and track your research.
- If you have a question you can add that as well, and include others on the site who might be able to help (hint, me!)
- I’ll be looking at your Basecamp notes and activity.
