Trevor, thanks for sharing these notes on the class. I taught for a while in my MA degree and never took the time to go back and critique myself, or try to review what worked or didn't. I'll be interested in reading your experiences as you teach this course again. Teaching students to become part of the conversation can be as useful as the content they take in, and the group blog format is great for that. Sounds like a great course!
Wow, no love for ReadWriteWeb? Out of those 10 I'd think RWW has the angle on cerebral, analytical writing on technology.
