Student Blogs

I have  added the urls for all twenty student blogs on the column to the right. I have checked them and they seem to function.

BLOGS!

With face to face studios, "Blackboard Type"University sponsored sites, and our blogs not to mention email and cell phone texting and conversations, we just can't figure out which mode we should use to communicate any more. Blogs are free and "open to the public" ( if set up that way). Faculty can require weekly or even daily postings and layout ground rules making the blog a gauge of process not presentation. Blogs used this way become analogous to a pile of tracing paperor a portfolio. Students can establish a blog and use it from course to course and beyond as an archive.
