I really liked our discussions about world issues and wished we could have done more debates. Seminar discussion was very productive and i surprisingly learned a lot from them. I hated blogging, because it requires all sorts of internet mumbo jumbo that is too time consuming and unproductive to really matter. Instead, let students write out assignments and use resources around them, rather than making them jump through hoops to blog on a website. I don't think kids care about blogs as much because we really don't feel that you read all of them in depth. Please don't make your students do them next year. it is of no educational value. Let your students bring their ideas to class on paper rather than having to do this crap. Seriously, it does nothing but cause stress to the student, you can assign the same amount of work with have the hastle if you just made regular assignments. NO MORE JOHN STOSSELL EITHER< SERIOUS! i'm out.
