Pitch-A-Story in the College Classroom

My business-communication students played Pitch-a-Story at the end of the fall 2005 semester and really enjoyed it.

Students found it applicable to job interviewing in that
the game helped them develop their abilities to think on
their feet. Next semester, I'll have students play the game
during the time they're learning about interviewing skills.

Students also found that the game was useful for developing teamwork skills.

How Do Bloggers Prevent Spam? Updated
In an earlier version of this entry, I said that my blogging experience was being ruined by spammers who attacked the blog with spammy "comments" and phony trackback pings. I wondered how other bloggers dealt with these attacks. I think I know. I explored Movable Type's features enough to now know that I prevent spam by requiring commenters to register.
Experienced bloggers would probably find me quite naive. Luckily, they're probably not reading my blog, so they don't know what a dunce I can be.
