D'Arcy Norman blogs a summary of Marcus O'Donnell's paper Blogging as pedagogic practice: Artefact and ecology. He's been doing a number of these paper summaries recently. O'Donnell "talks about some of the promise of blogging as an agent of pedagogical change, but actually goes into some of the reasons why the change might happen." So what are these reasons? "A blog... operates at the core of a personal network or set of personal relationships.... the author can learn to work with a blog as an evolving hypertext essay by thoughtfully linking backwards and forwards to their own as well as others' posts [so] an ecological practice, which reveals emergent knowledges as a series of dynamically linked spaces." (That's a bit of an interpretation but I think it expresses the right idea.)
