Week 1
It seems that a Penn State University Economics professor is asking his/her students to write blog articles as a homework assignment for class. Weird? Well from what I gather from the blog address: psu1234.blogspot.com, the content of the articles (basic economic principals as they relate to college student's daily lives), and the profile (there is none), it seems that a professor at PSU may be trying to peak students interests through a collaborative blog.
Its not a bad idea if you think about it; each student gets to contribute their ideas on the classroom material, relating the material to their daily lives however they wish. On top of that, students put thought into their peices so they are well enough written to be published online.
The result is a very richly written blog, full of ideas, each article precisely on-topic, but contributed from a wide variety of authors. A truly grand example of the use of blogging.
A trend? I think so
College students write billions of essays/ articles/ shorts every year and for many, it is at their peak writing ability, so why not share? I am sure we are going to see many more creative, insightful, on-point blogs such as this one written very soon.
