Well, my original blog failed.I mean, I meant for it to fail. As a learning exercise. You see, my students were supposed to critique things that were wrong with it. Turns out everything was wrong with it. Sigh.
We had a pretty swell class, with Todd Kominak, our TA presenting on some blogging tips.Hey class, did you know he was Phi Beta Kappa? I didn't, but wow, you all should aspire to such great heights. You have one smart TA.
When I took the first look at the first student blog to come in, Alex Laska's Justifiable Anger -- I have to say this is one of these instances when you realize students know more than you do, especially if they can code. Alex has been keeping this blog on LGBT politics on and off for years. It has the visual layout and cues and links and photos we talked about in class.Still, I teach you the theory and the history of blogging, and the class now knows that blogging was practically invented by a college student. And I introduced you to etherpad. So we learn from each other. /Your Prof
