We were fortunate to have Dr. Laura Clawson of Daily Kos, Blue Hampshire, and Dartmouth College speak to us about her work as a political blogger. (Thanks, Laura!) If you missed it, ask your classmates for highlights. I certainly learned a lot, and found Dr. Clawson a really engaging speaker. Was anyone else as surprised as I am at how little money is in it even for bloggers on national blogs?
The 4 o’clock students who couldn’t come to the talk viewed videos related to Iraq and Paul Bremer from CNN, The Daily Show, and Al Jazeera, and gave me their thoughts on what would be best for other students to view. (The Daily Show was judged most entertaining. Al Jazeera and The Daily Show were easier to understand. The CNN videos were a judged little boring and inacessible, but important and in-depth.) For links to videos, see my Iraq del.icio.us bookmarks at http://del.icio.us/mendhamt/iraq.
On Tuesday, the 7 page peer draft is due(HW 34), and the blog post is HW 35A, the letter to Riverbend. If you need the handout, it’s http://keeneweb.org/tmendham/files/2008/03/hw32_33_34_35a_35b_36_itw101_20080326.doc
