Still amazed at how little I’m finding about using these in the classroom. Looks like only a dozen or so sites, few of them high school. I keep thinking about the feedback potential, the news gathering/note taking/knowledge management applications. There has to be some way to make it more organized without making it more work. It’s one thing to use it for a work repository like what I’m doing in web class. And actually, for that purpose, diaryland is better than blogger because of the indexing feature. In order to generate a list of work in blogger they’d have to know html. That’s why the one prof set them up with both. But the idea for a class weblog and possibly individual weblogs where they track what they do and read and learn…that would be cool. A place to take notes?

And then I keep thinking about how cool it would be for a teacher’s site…I need to make a mock up of this. A weblog with the comment feature running in the middle (more like metafilter than snorland) with Intranet type info surrounding it. One stop shopping.
