The 5 mistakes outlined in this article are
1. "Ineffective contextualization" (not thinking about the best way to use blogs, usually self-reflection)
2. "Unclear Learning Outcomes"
3. "Misuse of the environment" (treating blogs like wikis or discussion forums)
4. "Illusive grading practices" (lacking clear rubrics)
5. "Inadequate time allocation" (both for students to write and instructors to grade and give feedback)

Examines blogs as learning tools for creating a "community of discourse." This article focuses more on the role of the facilitator in shaping the learning community than on the instructional design of assignments using blogs. There's some interesting ideas about evaluating success and determining whether students are reading blog posts beyond just how much commenting happens.

The traditional CMS/LMS is designed for a more instructor-centered course, so the pedagogy of these courses reflects the technology. This article skims the surface of what might be possible if social networking tools, blogs, wikis, and more were used to construct courses and give students more control. What would that do to the pedagogy?

Tool for liveblogging that is actually live--it works like typing an instant message. The app sits in an iframe, which means it can't be embedded in Wordpress or Edublogs, but it does work in a wiki. Also allows for reader comments--could be interesting for doing an interview or discussion and recording it for others to view.
