Scott Leslie reports on an interesting experiment involving the use of blogs to facilitate an online discussion on possible uses of blogs in education for the B.C.

"On the applications of blogs to education, there seemed to be a few glimmers but then there were just as many issues that arose." And maybe this isn't the right sort of use for blogs. "I'd say that blogging tools in general do not replicate (nor should they be expected to) the kind of focused or threaded discussion that can (sometimes) happen in discussion forums or mailing lists."
