Ta-Da!
We did it! Heidi and I took our ELC classes to the computer lab and actually got them all to successfully sign up for blogs. The students' assignment is to update their blogs at least 3 times a week as writing practice. I'm not correcting them in any way; instead they are graded solely on effort. This is the first time any of the classes have really done anything like this in such a public forum, and the students seem pretty excited about it. Hopefully, it will work well. If it works really well, they'll keep updating even after the class is over.
Should you be interested in reading their blogs, the links for my class can be found here and Heidi's assignment blog is here, where I believe she will be putting up links for her class.
