(Via Dennis Jerz) Even though my teaching days might be over, ideas like these by Mindy McAdams for teaching an online journalism course make me wonder how long I can stay away from the classroom. And if that’s not enough, Phil Wolff’s ideas for citizen journalism are extrememly intruiguing, especially when he talks about a “full blown track in public school starting at age 8.” His full post is definitely worth the read, and it may even be worth a separate post here when I digest it more, but he combines moblogging, campaign coverage, personal video blogging, video syndication, news discovery, blogging, syndication and much, much more. This is Phil at his creative forward-thinking best. After meeting him at BloggerCon I last fall, I’m sorry to see that he won’t be at BloggerCon II this weekend.

One of the Weblogs I first started reading was Dennis Jerz’s Literacy Weblog. A professor at Seton Hill Univeristy, he writes about writing, journalism and a variety of education related technologies that I’ve always found pretty interesting. (His colleague Mike Arnzen is also a valuable read.) Problem was, once I discovered syndication and aggregation, I stopped reading since there was no RSS feed. Well, Dr. Jerz has finally relented and created a feed, and I’m happy to say he’s the latest addition to my blogroll.
