John Batelle, a co-founder of Wired magazine, and Paul Grabowicz, the Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism's new media program director, will be teaching a class about blogging this fall. Not everybody is impressed; one blogger says the program treats bloggers as a "vast pool of unpaid researchers who do a lot of leg work while the journalist gets the kudos in mainstream society and gets paid."

CRLFThe article also contains some discussion of the use of blogs in classrooms along with the completely unsubstantiated assertion that "efforts to get students to participate in classroom blogs have, for the most part, fallen flat". My explorations today through the world of school weblogs shows, if anything, the opposite.
