Crunch Time: Seton Hill Blogs Bursting at the Seams
Blogalicious… bloginator… “blog rally“… my students have been fiercely you-know-whatting, in order to fulfill the broad, very general requirements of their blogging portfolios. These range from the typical “write a blog responding to book X” or “blog about classroom activity Y,” to “disagree politely with one of your peers” to “write a blog entry that sparks a discussion on your blog”. One prompt, “Blog about how your English major affects your work in non-English classes,” has sparked some soul-searching in the “Intro to Literary Study” class, which I think is welcome in this foundational course for all our English majors (lit, creative writing, and journalism).

I’m proud to have coined the term “blog rally” in hopes that people would learn to leave effective, stimulating comments, and write blogs for the portfolios that can be linked to–isn’t that what it’s all about, anyway?
I’m with Amanda on this one. Despite my state of insanity with the list of work resembling _War and Peace_, blogging has kept its cathartic affect on me. (I don’t mind!)

One of my student group blogs has just surpassed me in # of entries. Sure there are 4 of them and only 1 of me, but I still feel like a blogger slacker. Must post on BloggerCon but have got to write my Cultural Studies paper first! More next week…
