Implications for classroom teachers

I find this an absolutely awesome new educational tool. A presentation about this took place at the Catalyst Science Conference this past spring and I was amazed at a senior science teacher's blog and how it was managed. As classes go to a "paperless" model, I see this as an outstanding way for a teacher to connect with their students. Students can express their views provided clear parameters are understood by all.

"Paperless" is a great idea for us to be pursuing. If we are to consider ourselves "Green" this is a "bigger" discussion for us. The book talks about "Paperless" but the issue remains about the number of students who still do not have computers.

excellent point scheryl but that said wouldn't it be good to have a blog block instead of a spare where students could manage or reply to blogs?
