Week III

More fun with podcasts... I surfing CNN today and found an interesting story on a popular podcast on grammar called "Grammar Girl." I wanted to post the link to the story for two reasons- it sounds like an interesting podcast for anyone wanting to improve their grammar (or their students'), but also as a communications/media person to acknowledge that podcasts have gone "mainstream" enough to be picked up as a story on CNN. I think its significant that such a major news conglomeration willingly assumes that most of its readers will have enough of a basic knowledge at least of what podcasts are that they don't explain it in the story.

Week II

This is a livejournal from one of my old Communications Professors, Aaron Delwiche, who specializes in new media studies. Because of this he has a lot of links and updates to things going on in the world wide web:
