“We still have not really seen the ultimate offspring of a weblog and a threaded conversation.” I think I need to spend some time thinking about what that ultimate blogging tool might look like in the classroom. It would definitely have a comment tool, one that you needed to log in for…I guess, however, that we could make the individual logs by invite only, so that would limit the number of people who could respond. And they would not be able to do so anonymously.That would be the key in building community, and it goes back to the Metafilter set up like I’ve said so many times before. I just really think that interfact is more effective for threaded discussions. That way a student could post a piece and we could thread the analysis. Gives me chills, really. I know that can be done with Manilla, but I just don’t like the separate post interface.
