A platform for sharing

Blogs can serve as a collaborative meeting space, as well as an archive for ideas.  You're going to develop and use a blog this semester for this very purpose.  More information about this project will be loaded onto Moodle this week, but in the meantime it will help you if you start visiting blogs. 

Not sure where to start?  Google something like, "100 most popular blogs", or "top fantasy football blogs" or "most popular knitting blogs"  or "top blogs about wine"....or whatever subject interests you. 

While you're visiting blogs, look out their design, images, format, voice, etc.  In other words, start to view them with a truly evaluative eye.     

Keep me posted on your favorites!

  1. Over the past few years I have switched from buying magazines to reading blogs. Blogs allow readers the access to the most current information compared to magazines which may be reporting on last weeks news.

    Some of my favorite blogs are:
    Engadget
    Gizmodo
    All things digital
    Fat Cyclist
    Bike Snob NYC
    Mashable
    The mile high report
    Predominately Orange
