Grading their blogs

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 18:11 GMT

I am seeing a number of student blogs. What's the advantage of a class blog vs individual blogs?

Are you grading because a student blogs or what they blog?

Going beyond just attending lectures

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 23:49 GMT

I was wondering if any of you students took some extra steps beyond what was required of you in classes. Did you ask your professors for contacts? Did you spearhead a project? Have you developed an independent study course? Just trying to brainstorm some ideas to get even more out of this degree.

Do you Twitter? Do your students.

Do journalists & journalism students use social media tools like Twitter *less* than people in the general population, such as business people and business students? Help me research this by taking my short survey at: Twitter survey and passing the link along to other journalism folks.

Thank you so much.

I'm a Newhouse journalism graduate student at Syracuse University...just trying to get my degree in a few months and take on the real world. It's not always fun meeting the standards here, but I hope it's all worth it in the end!

FL OR FLA? THERE'S NO QUESTION

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 08:21 GMT

Just noticed on the masthead of the online edition of The Miami Hurricane the location is listed as Coral Gables, FL. The Print edition reads Coral Gables, Florida. Can we be consistent?

And can we follow AP style? What hapened to Coral Gables, Fla.???

It's a small point, but I'm also surprised there's no unifying theme betwen the online and print version of The Hurricane. Just a little confusing. But hey, back in my day, there was no online version to worry about.

Carry on...

CP problem uploading mp3 tracks

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:16 GMT

I've found that CP does a great job helping someone with a love of tech but a lack of technical prowess. This does mean that I've run into a few snags. My current problem is our podcast content. Our news organization is starting to record stories and original content in the college radio booths and producing them for online content. I've uploaded a six minute mp3 track under the podcast manager in CP but when I attempt to listen to it I can only access the first 40 seconds or so. Anyone else have this problem or some advice on how to fix it? CP support unfortunately has been sluggish on replying and I'm not even sure I can describe the problem accurately for them.
