Blog Post 4 - Reflection

This semester, I think I've made good headway on my genius hour project. I have almost everything set up, but I am still wondering how I can get my name out there for people? Hopefully, next semester I can get  the posts on my other blog going with advice. All I have to do still is confirm how will I let people submit their questions? I was thinking I could do an ask.fm or something along those lines so it's anonymous.

I still have the same inquiry question I did in my first post, which is what might be the questions that incoming freshmen have, and how can I help? Although the question is mainly focused towards freshmen, I will be open to other ages as well. This question will drive my project throughout this year.

Blog Post 3

I got a great idea from a comment on my last post that I want to achieve. It said that I should post links to my blog to school clubs to help people get involved. The comment also mentioned that I could try to get a column in the school newspaper, which I think would be really exciting! In the past week, I have made a blog where I'm going to post my advice and created a separate email for people to contact me at. I don't know how I should have people submit their questions though. My original plan was to have everyone submit their questions through email, but after thinking about it a little longer, I realized their email could give away their name, which some people might not want. Hopefully I can find a better way to have people ask their questions.

Some websites that I have referenced are:
