Good news!

In my classes this week, we started talking about analyzing pieces of contemporary culture in terms of American social norms that we've been discussing this semester. So, I encouraged the blogging groups to link out to an ad or website and do some brief analysis of whatever they link to for their post. Three out of the four groups linked out successfully, and two groups actually managed to imbed images into their posts. I'm going to jump on the opportunity in class tomorrow to encourage such blogging behavior, and give them some more ideas for places to link to in their posts. I'm quite proud of them all. Check out the posts if you get a chance.

That's great. Now that we're seeing more use of visual elements and linking on the blog, all that's left is to convince them that that sexism in the workplace still exists. :)
