Interviews with eduStyle blog award nominees

edustyle-awards-banner.gifKarine Joly at College Web Editor has posted her recent email interviews with the folks behind four of the six blogs nominated for the eduStyle Awards for best student blogs and best institutional blogs.

Disclaimer: I am the person behind one of the blogs in contention, Missouri S&T’s Name Change Conversations, and my interview is included in Karine’s post. My responses were articulate, well-reasoned and succinct, but please, don’t let that sway your vote. *wink wink nudge nudge*

Seriously, though. The interviews offer insight into the motives behind each of these outstanding blogs. Each entry seeks to achieve different goals, focusing on different audiences, and each seems to have made strides toward achieving the stated goals. I encourage you to read these interviews and then vote for the blog of your choice. While you’re at it, cast your vote in all the other eduStyle web categories.

Something to ponder this weekend

tv_animated.gifFor those of you taking a long Memorial Day weekend (as I am), here’s something to think about:

Americans supposedly spend 100 million hours a weekend just watching the ads on television.

If that doesn’t get you out of the house, I don’t know what will.

Wherever you’ll be, I hope you’ll have a terrific weekend.
