Hello everyone starting md363 this September

Another year, another technology! Blogs have been around a while but they seem to be in the spotlight a lot more in recent months. I have to say I only knew of them from a distance until one of my students described how he used them - thanks to Viv Midlane then for the introduction:-)

Wonder what the rest of you think? Do you have to be a certain type of person to create a public journal like this? Maybe so but if it's in an educational context then the colaborative potential seems significant. I did find this on seven year olds using weBlogs for coursework, homework, group projects etc http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3804773.stm
