When checking the recent links in my del.icio.us network, I found a video, Blogging: In Their Own Words, by Karl Fisch. In the video, students and teachers from Arapahoe High School reflect on their use of blogs for teaching and learning. It is a testament to the important role blogs can play in education even though many of the comments could be true for many online publishing methods. The last three minutes of the video does hit on some of the ways blogging is different than class-based discussion forums - namely, feeling ownership of the content, synthesis of ideas across subjects, and communication that expands beyond boundaries of the class roster.
You can watch the video below.
