David Carraher of the Harvard neighborhood is thinking about the potentials of Web logs in education. He suggests a couple of current shortcomings that Web logs might overcome, namely students as passive learners and a lack of access to real life teaching by researchers and those in teacher ed programs. I’m not sure there is anything really new here that hasn’t been widely discussed in these circles, but as always it’s interesting to see the bulb start burning in other brains.
