It’s September, and I’m unleashing another crop of bloggers on the world. But some have been blogging already for years, and have developed a culture all their own. They’re going to trample a few of my flowers and track a little dirt on my carpet, but that’s okay, because I don’t live in a museum. —Dennis G. Jerz —
Clueless Usenet Newbie: ”Re: Jesus’ Birthday” (Jerz’s Literacy Weblog)
Recycling an entry I wrote last year.
I’ve added an aggregator for the students in my News Writing class. It’s a php “include” file within a regular blog entry. I felt pretty proud of myself for getting that idea. We’ll see whether I’ve violated some law of the universe that I don’t know about.
This past week has been a sprint. My sister and her husband are due to pull up in our driveway any moment now, so I’m outta here.
I wonder if you asked them “Who has a LiveJournal or a MySpace account, or a Flickr accoun, or knows someone who does?” You’d probably get more positive responses.
If your students are blogging, they’re way ahead of mine. In my FYC, one student blogs; none of the others read blogs; and most if not all didn’t know what a blog was till I showed them. In my advanced class, none of my students blogs, except one who was “forced to for a class”!!
