Blogs and wikis

A colleague and I are investigating group blogs and wikis for a third-year drama course. The following sites are interesting.

Blogs generally
Screencast on blogs, by Brian Lamb.
This screencast sits on Brian Lamb’s wiki, Beyond the Blog, where there are other links to information about social software.

Group blogs
We're looking at group blogs because students in the course are collaboratively making their own plays. A group blog might help with process. We've been looking at the traditional solo blogging software, but there is other collaborative software which might be of interest. Robin Good has some suggestions worth checking out.

Blog styles - examples
Journalism, group blog style: ABC Unleashed.
Politics around the 2007 election. Plenty of audio and video.

A poem a day: Gardner Writes
Low workload solo blogging. Gardner reads a poem by Donne and talks about his poetry. You can comment in text or audio.

Student site: Broadcasters of Tomorrow
Nominated for the Reuters Student Journalism Award 2007.
Lots of Youtube links.
