jill/txt on blogs
It’s worthwhile to read jill/txt, a blog maintained by Jill Walker, an associate professor at the University of Bergen who researches online story telling. A recent post on an assignment for her students asks them to look at their own blogs individually and as a group using the criteria of
- content
- layout
- writing style
- kinds of accessories (blogrolls, link to facebook profile, comments, etc?).
With these criteria, the students are to determine if their blogs are in the same genre or different ones, and how they match other genres in “art, film, television, or literature.”
