Last year in conjunction with a Liberal Arts teacher I set up a blog entitled From Footscray to the Ganges. This blog was for Tradition and Modernity students to share their ideas and promote on-line discussion about their course.
It wasn't as successful as we had anticipated and we were not really sure why. Was it because the students were uncomfortable with posting something the whole world could see? Or did they have the attitude of 'why post my good ideas and share them on a blog when I could save them for my end of year essay'? Or were most students a little bit intimidated by another student?
It was probably a combination of all three.
My role in this endeavour included posting links to that weeks reading e.g, assisting students setting up their google accounts and helping the teacher invite students to make postings onto the blog, etc.
Well this year we decided to try again. This years blog is titled Curry up and don't be late. It's only been going for a couple of weeks, thus there are not too many postings as yet.
I would be interested in any thoughts or comments you may have.

In the resources section for Thing 4 i've linked to an article which gives tips for increasing the number of comments left on your blog. Hope that helps a bit!
So this would be a familiar territory for you. Hope (expect) to see more interesting workr and creativity from you LB
