Blogging and journalism classes

It's mid-summer and I just ended my summer school day class --the online class still has a couple of weeks to go-- so it is time to start thinking about next school year. Big in my thoughts is how to incorporate the concept of blogging into my journalism classes.

I tried an experiment in the newswriting class last semester that really did not work, but it was start. (See the entries way down below.) We also had more luck in starting some blogs in association with talonmarks.com, but the semester ended shortly after we started.

As I'm starting my research, I ran across this interesting article. Other community college journalism instructors should read it, too, as should Cerritos journalism students.
