I think part of the lesson is that you can gain attention by recommending (of course, some people--the hubs-- have greater recommending powers). And no, they don't actually post anything but instead the erase-boards function as post titles. Students have great fun with that (one memorable "post": "I wear diapers. Ask me why."). Yes, we could go through the actual process over a couple of weeks, but then this would stop being a simulation! ;-) What I am hoping to achieve is to sensitize students to some issues _before_ they begin doing the actual thing (of course, some students already blog-- but not all). Dave,

At first glance, my hunch is that people would seek <i>attention</i> because that might be easier to attract. Is that the case? And do they move to seeking recommendation? Given the timeframe of an hour, I'm assuming they're not really making posts. I wonder what would happen if the students were able to post to actual blogs and read each other's work over, say, three weeks? I'm glad I came across this (that's attention), and I'll be posting about it myself (recommendation). Ulises, I’d be very interested in hearing what the results of the game tend to be.
