The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Did Your University Have Bloggers?
Help a girl out.
I'm writing my master's thesis on the use of blogging as a marketing tool in higher education (I KNOW! How BA am I?) and I was hoping that on this vast community I could find a few people who either a) blogged as official student bloggers, or 2) at least knew the basics about their school's blogging initiatives.
Anybody?
If this applies to you and you're willing to answer a few questions, reply here, send me a message, email me, whatever.
You have the power to make me a very happy grad student....thanks in advance!

My school didn't, but I didn't go to a super advanced school. Check out David Warlick. He is a technology in the classroom genius! (but I am biased, he is my father) Anyway, he does do more for high school, but there may be some in there for colleges, but he really stresses the importance of blogging, and other forms of technology in the classroom. It may be something to check out. He has also written a book about classroom blogging. I did just google David Warlick higher education blogging and found some results. It may help! Good luck!

I graduated in 2007 and no they didn't have one, it was a huge research university though so though there were clubs which might have had blogs, and the uni had "pages" for students and staff there was no blog initiative. They did develop one in May or so the year I graduated, it is not widely used I don't think . Some schools at the uni and departments of those schools use it for schedules and to update but other than that I think most people students and professors do a lot of their blogging off site.
My grad school has an initiative for profs to write about and publish their research via blogs, it is fairly new and many of the profs are already published and or write other places, and students tend to have their own blogs on their own sites or group blogs, again clubs have blogs but I haven't seem much success with a uni initiative.
Both of my schools were/are fairly large though, I imagine some smaller schools might have better success and more innovative programs. Large universities are usually full of people who are pretty well ensconced in their own work and research, so they tend to act independently of the school in areas like blogging.
