Great paper on blogging in the classroom. In particular, I love the way he relates blogging to storytelling, and the importance of literacy to students.

Blogs represent a perfect medium for literacy. Authors must read and write as they would on paper, while increasing their comfort with computers and the Internet. Because blogs do not require exceptional technical skills, but still offer the opportunity to “tinker” using Web programming languages for customization, blogs remain equitable for all age groups and both genders, and still provide a medium for learning programmatic skills.

If you’re considering whether or not you should be blogging at your school, this is definitely worth the read.
