Thanks for linking back to my class blog where we are running the student blogging competition. I notice some of the students participating have already written and published their posts about BAD Poverty 2008. This is a great way to have students start thinking with a social conscious.

The first idea inspired me so much I am doing the same myself! Maybe this will catch on so much there should be a blog entry publicising all the “sponsored comment” blogs!
