Nice paper outlining work in educational blogging with a good range of reports from other implementations of the same technology. Not surprisingly, the author observes that "blogging will make sense for some and not for others." Not surprising, maybe, but as he observes, "often, in our response to calls to embrace the future, as educators we forget what should otherwise be basic to our own meaning-making and instruction. As a medium/tool, the classroom blog can give students the opportunity to write for a public audience... However, this tool should not be treated as normative, prescriptive, or proscriptive; it is simply one more medium for literacy, one that does not guarantee success."
