Help Request

Howdy from Texas,
Is anyone currently feeling comfortable using CP and willing to spend a few minutes trying to help a school just learning CP? We're finding some of the interface tricky to work with. Seemingly simple things, like image placement, are perplexing us. We'd be glad to call you at your convenience!
Thanks,
Mitzi Lewis

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

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

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...
