Apropos of this thread, let me put in a plug for a web-based resource my colleagues and I have developed which focuses on blogging in the classroom: http://blogsforlearning.msu.edu. Actually, I should say “are developing” as we’re still adding features and content. The goal of Blogs For Learning is to provide a place to exchange information about the pedagogical and technical aspects of instructional blogging. Currently the site contains a set of tutorials, articles (case studies, informational pieces, etc.) and a blog. Although this particular question hasn’t been addressed yet, I think the site may be helpful for addressing other questions that may arise. And for those on the list who have used blogs in an educational capacity: If you’d be interested in contributing to the site, please contact me off-list. Re: Chris’ query: I think the comments so far have been helpful. For my own part, I’ve used Blogger and WordPress in my courses, and prefer Wordpress. I did have a tech person who installed it, so I can’t speak to the complexity of that process. Installing Blogger on a university server as Tama suggests may have addressed some of the problems I had, as would creating a group blog. Good luck! And have fun. Nicole -- Nicole Ellison, PhD Asst.
