How good are Blogs?!
I've been using our school-based version hosted locally for quite some time as a means of submission of student work. This enables me to centralise my access to the boys' efforts without junking up my lovely fresh and neat looking wiki with a whole heap of their posts - they simply link their name to their blog entry on the task and I can follow this up later. They also have the ability then to read and learn from each others efforts, and the odd interesting conversation has arisen (odd being the operative word) in these interchanges.
My kids are bloggers for their family, and I am on board with the potential they have for me professionally and personally.
The ease of use and the potential for quality content and interactions, particularly with multi-media overtones, is cool!
