Podcast critique assignment

This assignment is due on Monday, Feb. 6.

Between now and Monday, subscribe to three podcasts. You can do this at the iTunes store – they are free.
Listen to at least two episodes of each podcast so you get a feel for it.
Write a post on your blog that explains
- why you picked each one,
- what you liked and disliked about each one,
- whether you think you will continue listening to any of them,
- and whether you put them on an iPod or other player.

Critique a blog

Due Wednesday Jan. 25:
Go out on the World Wide Web and find a blog. Any blog will do, but I would encourage you to avoid the super-popular ones. Technorati.com can help guide you to blogs on any topic.

I used it to find a blog about chickens!
In your critique, please tell us:
what you like and dislike about the blog;
how often it is updated (avoid "dead" blogs);
whether the Comments indicate anyone is reading it;
what media elements beyond text it uses.
Post your critique on your own blog.
