This blog was started many years ago, and I have used it more as a place to share notes and ideas with other teachers rather than with my students. When I go to different conferences and meeting at the IU, I put my notes here, and then if any of my fellow colleagues might like the information, I referthem to my blog and tell them where the information is located. This may seem strange, but when I cannot remember a site, I can more easily remember where I was when I learned about it, than the name of the site. (before the days of Diigo and Delicious!)
If I would use a blog with my students, it would be much like a wiki in that each student would have an equal voice and an ability to give their thoughts and views on any topic. I have seen teachers use blogging very effectively, writing a "letter" back and forth about a war, or as a diary, which is similar to the way I use my blog. The blog could also run into interpretation issues, which would need to be worked through. The teacher would always need to check the blog posts, or review them before they are posted. The blog comments would need to be rich in depth, as our discussions are in our course, rather than short comments such as, "That's great", or " Good job".
