Berkeley Blogging

The Berkeley blogosphere needs your help! Tens of thousands of students attend Cal, all hailing from a wide array of backgrounds and comprising a subset of the diversity found all over the world, yet weblogs, a new and increasingly useful medium for disseminating information, portraying perspectives, and accentuating activism, are only utilized by a select few. As technology rapidly advances, it seems college students here are inapt to embracing it.

A new class offered this Spring, "The Weblog as a Medium for Nonfiction Creative Writing", seeks to change that. I encourage readers who attend Cal to consider enrolling in this class, to better your writing skills and to add to the voice we Golden Bears have on the web. Why not start your own blog today, and get some practice before class begins?
