I'm teaching a class called "Blogging for Journalists" over winter break. It's only four weeks, but I think that's enough time to start a blog and get the idea of how to post.
The students' blogs are interesting. We've got lots of cool topics, from banned books to basketball. Check out the links on the right of this page.
One thing I'm trying to emphasize in this course is that blogging is about more than opinions. It's about research and facts and good, clear writing. Some of the students have a lot of journalism classes under their belts, and it show. Others are a little raw. I think they're all enjoying it. It'll be fun to see how the blogs progress in the next three weeks.
