There have been a number of great posts and comments on the blog so far. I’d like offer some suggestions and sources of inspiration if you haven’t done as much yet as you’re required to.

As you are writing your post, make sure you click the “Homework” category in the blog post if you want to get full credit for your work. Here are the posts where that “Homework” category  has been clicked. If you already published a post but forgot to do this, you can always edit/update the blog post (make sure you unclick the “Uncategorized” category, which is the one that is selected by default for all new posts).

When you are writing a new post, try to point us to something(s) online rather than just offering thoughts and opinions.

If you are short on ideas for blog posts, here are some places to get ideas about interesting topics:

• TechDirt. This group blog offers insights and news on topics related to the intersection of technology, information, policy, and law.
• ArsTechnica. Similar to TechDirt.
• New York Times. Check out these sections: Business and Technology

As of the morning of February 18, this is where we stand with participation on the homework assignment of writing blog posts and comments:

• Number of people who haven’t written any blog posts for homework: 13
• Number of people who haven’t written any comments on blog posts for homework: 16
• Number of people who haven’t done blog posts or comments: 11

By next Tuesday, I need to have everyone who hasn’t participated yet to have written a few blog posts and a few comments. Please remember that nearly a third of your final grade is based on your effort on the blog with these posts and comments.
