Wow. About classroom blogging, it is not the technology that is important, but the fact that it is a record of learning in prgress and the affordances of blogging are that there can be interaction from other learners on the same journey or at different stages on the journey. I get a bit fed up with people equating classroom blogging with personal online diaries, not that you did that, but some do. I think that classoom blogging is simply another way of learning. But that's just my two bob's worth. Jo McLeay Tom, thanks for the link to the Age article I didn’t know it had been mentioned in ASCD. Wow.
