I think one of the interesting thing about Blogs & Education is whether we are thinking of blog as a verb (to blog, blogging) or a noun (a blog). As a verb, blogging in education should resemble the conventions of blogging that have emerged over the past five years. Thinking about blogs as a noun is more liberating. As a noun you just focus on the technology of a blog. How does it function? How might that function better facilitate learning? For example, in my online writing courses I have students blog ALL of their work. Then, at the end of the semester, they have a digital portfolio of their work for the entire course. Smack a reflective letter as the last posting (which will then be the first to show on the blog), and it introduces anyone to that blog if they stumble upon it later.
Just some thoughts...
