Great class

Well, class is over for the summer. It went well. Students did a great job blogging, and I think they learned a little. I learned some things, too. I will definitely change a couple of things next time I teach it. Looking forward to next time.

Students are doing great

We're now halfway through the semester, and students are doing great. They are now posting to their blogs three times a week. They are also required to comment on two of their classmates' posts per week. We've actually got some interesting discussions going. A good conversation is one of the positives of a well-done blog, in my opinion.

Reading the posts from the past week, I was struck by how much impact a good image can  have on a blog's audience. I was particularly intrigued by the photos of food and drink on Zoie Campbell's blog and the image of the placenta on Desirae Holliday's blog. The one of the milkshake made me want to drive to Greeley and order one at Stuft, and the one of the placenta made me wonder why on earth anyone would eat something like that. To each her own, I guess.
