Students With Blogs

Bill Ferriter answers frequently asked questions on using blogs in the classroom. This sounds like a very good point:

Instead of digital soapboxes, teachers and students must begin to see blogs as interactive forums for continuing conversations around topics of interest--and interactive forums require two-way participation.
