This year I am getting my business students to share and discuss business issues and concepts through blogging and adding comments to blogs. I set up a YouTube channel and uploaded screencasts/video tutorials showing them how easy it is to blog using my chosen platform, Posterous Spaces.

What examples can you think of?
