The Blogging in Schools Question

Thanks to Will Richardson for organizing the many blog posts from this week's discussion of blogging in schools. And for nailing the issue with some well chosen comments: "For blogging to be of value," he writes, "it has to be born of passion." So, "By its very nature, assigned blogging in schools cannot be blogging. It's contrived." So? "My students drop blogging like wet cement when the class is over. And it's because I can't let them blog in the first place." For after all, "I can let them write about their passions, but I can't let them do it passionately due to the inherent censorship that a high school served Weblog carries with it."
