It’s almost midnight and I have to get to bed, but I wanted to make reference to this post. Over the past couple of years, I have spoken to a great number of fellow teachers about the changing nature of society, information, and the way we acquire and use information. Unfortunately, I have not made use of weblogs in the way that I would have liked to do. We have dabbled a bit (it worked well), but have not had the time to get into it as much as I would like. They are amazing tools with almost limitless possibilities, but they come with responsibilities.

Key quote:

Sometimes when I see all the stuff that is posted on blogs by teenagers I find myself wishing that someone had given them some guidance. Lots of them are just not thinking. We need to build these types of things into our discussions in our classrooms. I like to think that good teaching about responsible weblog use would help. No, we can’t reach all but we won’t reach any if we keep burying our heads in the sand and keep worrying about what MIGHT happen.

By the way, I am in love with the concept of The Write Weblog!
