If the idea of a blog had grabbed the imagination of my technical students I think they might have reacted by now and they haven't but I see them again in three weeks time so who knows?
I think that I didn't have the time to introduce the idea properly. I was surprised when nobody in the room had any idea what a blog was. I thought perhaps a few would have heard of them. This means that I needed to invest much more time in explaining what it was all about. And this is an awkward area since they are there to improve their technical English simply to be able to follow manuals and procedures so if I stray from discussing different types of pliers (eg. needle-nosed or round-nosed) then they see everything else as irrelevant.

Reading how to files in a foreign language and being able to follow the instructions by opening a blog would not be a technical experience?
