So, I've scanned all seven team blogs and there are at most five comments for Sam's team's ideas (out of a possible 30-ish per blog). My Team Voltron's ideas have received only a single feedback response. My students were hesitant to narrow from three ideas to one tonight on our Skype check-in because of the lack of feedback. (The solitary response was actually quite helpful to them in furthering development of an idea.)
Charlotte-Anne, you asked me to "raise the red flag" on Thursday if there was limited feedback, and I am doing so tonight! Somehow, we need to light a fire under the masses to get them commenting on each other's ideas before Sunday.
Are the top ideas easily identifiable on the blogs? Some are, and some are not, in my students' opinions. My team will be revamping its presentation of "Top 3 Ideas" tomorrow morning to (hopefully) make it clearer where to comment. This is our last chance to press them for inter-team feedback before Ithaca in three weeks. Good luck!

Thank you Marybeth. I thought I hit my folks with the dynamite charge earlier, but I will re-load.
My team is having difficulty finding the top five entries for Team 2, Team 3 and Team Awesome. There wasn't a clear post for Team All-Knighters (UNLV), but evidently that just appeared this afternoon. Conversely, Team K-state and Team Voltron appear to be less problematic.
I have instructed my students to make a concerted effort to find the top five, but if it isn't clearly marked, they are not to waste their time sifting through the blogs to find them.
If the teams without clear demarcation of the 5 ideas fix this problem, please post the permalinks to those posts on this blog so we can all find them and distribute that information to our teams.
Team KU's big idea is going to be posted this afternoon. My students weighed the 15 comments received and reached a consensus. It will be posted under "Team KU's Big Idea".
