Last night was the first day of class ... we actually did a ton of stuff for the first day thing. I am sorry my posts have been few and far between -- and completely focused on the course, but I have been working at trying some very different things this semester, so its been like designing a course from the ground up.
At any rate, the students all did hands on stuff -- we got bloglines accounts, setup del.icio.us accounts for everyone (decided on a class tag), and they got into the blogs@110 and posted their first post. We went over how to subscribe to feeds and how to create custom ones in the blogs ... I think a good majority got it and may even use some of this stuff all semester. I'll be posting thoughts about the course and the progress here from time to time ... I will also try to get back to writing about other stuff on a regular basis, but for now I will be posting over at the blogs@110.
