By now you should be receiving email messages from Blogger.com inviting you to join a new blog called "comm207fall07." Catchy, huh? Blogger allows you to use simple HTML tags (short for hypertext markup language), and we'll all be posting to the class blog. It can be a frustrating experience at first, because HTML is full of picky little codes. But it's also a good way to get your feet wet in the computer language that makes the Internet such a powerful communications medium. And as you get used to it, you'll discover there's a very simple, elegant logic to the tags and the way they work.
I'll also keep posting messages and links of interest to The Mackerel Wrapper, but some of our assignments will move to Comm207fall07. The link above will take you there.
A weblog for Pete Ellertsen's mass communications students at Benedictine University Springfield.

About Me
- Pete
- Springfield (Ill.), United States
- I'm a retired English, journalism and cultural studies teacher at Springfield College in Illinois (acquired by Benedictine University and subsequently closed). I coordinate jam sessions for the "Clayville Pioneer Academy of Music" at Clayville Historic Site and the Prairieland Strings dulcimer club, and I sing in the choir and the contemporary praise team at Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield. On Hogfiddle I post links and video clips for our sessions and workshops on the mountain dulcimer (a.k.a. "hog fiddle"), as well as research notes on folklore and cultural studies, hymnody and traditional Anglo-Celtic and Scandinavian music. I also posted assignments and readings in my interdisciplinary humanities classes. The Mackerel Wrapper (now on hiatus), carried assignments and readings for my mass comm. students. I started teaching b/log when I chaired SCI-Benedictine's assessment committee, and reopened it as the privatization of public schools grew increasingly troubling and closer to home.
