"This confirms what I've seen over the last two years: parents by-and-large are comfortable with their students using social tools in school. And as social media has become mainstream, parents have come to accept it as just another part of culture.

Second was the thing that almost every parent said was the best the about a paperless classroom: the opportunity to turn daily blogging into a digital portfolio of academic growth. Fundamentally parents understand this. After all, we are the ones who collect bits of our kids' lives in baby-books, scrap-books, and photo albums. The blog is an extension of this habit. The big difference is that the blogs are produced by the kids themselves.

The next generation of blogging systems needs to account for the fact that information — and most importantly, conversations — flow via email, Twitter, instant messages and other formats. In order to do that, the innards of blogging systems need to be rethought. Perhaps the older, relational database models will need to be replaced by more nimble data stores. We may see XMPP become the layer that facilitates collaboration and real-time communications. But these are complex topics for my more esteemed colleagues to tackle, the ones who are builders and creators. I am merely a thinker, who is firm in his belief that this real-time social collaboration is a powerful force, and blogging, if it wants to move further forward, needs to embrace it.

We spend a lot of time as a team debating why certain people are getting proficient at social media (or 2.0 behaviors, or whatever you want to call them), and others -- well -- just aren't.

We've studied it from just about every angle I can think of.

But maybe, just maybe, we've stumbled on the quintessential ingredient that makes this stuff work.

Passion. Maybe it's that simple -- and that hard.

According to a 2008 survey by Technorati, which runs a search engine for blogs, only 7.4 million out of the 133 million blogs the company tracks had been updated in the past 120 days. That translates to 95 percent of blogs being essentially abandoned, left to lie fallow on the Web, where they become public remnants of a dream — or at least an ambition — unfulfilled.

Judging from conversations with retired bloggers, many of the orphans were cast aside by people who had assumed that once they started blogging, the world would beat a path to their digital door.

My favorite things about the Weblog:

* good support for one-paragraph ideas
* great repository for personal thoughts, if only so that the author him or herself can go back later to review
* content over form; Webloggers generally use a standard style and don't play with colors and formatting the way that GeoCities authors used to
* distributed comment system; no need for the entire conversation to be on one server
* RSS feeds and aggregators

At the beginning of the year, I always talk to my students about “growing” their own blog. It is a challenging concept because, when they are first introduced to blogging, they are all under the impression that everything they write will be graded and that their blog is just an electronic version of their notebook or journal. So, when at the beginning of the year, I start talking about blogging and the steps that the students need to take to “grow” their own blog, they are always a bit confused and surprised - my words suggest a lot of freedom, and freedom, as we all know, is not something that students associate with school.

A blog is a personal website that contains content organized like a journal or a diary. Each entry is dated, and the entries are displayed on the web page in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent entry is posted at the top. Readers catch up with blogs by starting at the top and reading down until they encounter material they’re already read.

Though blogs are typically thought of as personal journals, there is no limit to what may be covered in a blog. It is common for people to write blogs to describe their work, their hobbies, their pets, social and political issues, or news and current events. And while blogs are typically the work of one individual, blogs combining contributions of several people, ‘group blogs’, are also popular.

Drawing a blank on how you might use a blog in your own classroom? Here's a list to jump start your creativity. By no means is this list exhaustive; there are as many ways to use blogs in education as there are to use paper. :) Remember, blogs are a medium, not a genre. Some of these ideas are for the classroom in general, some are for younger students, some are for older students. Some could become group or classroom blogs, others are suited for individual student blogs. Next, determine to what degree do you want to have "conversations" with others. If you want global participation, ask "in what ways can I have students from another part of the world participate in this with us?". Ask also,"in what ways can we get experts involved with our blogs?" The sky's the limit! :)

There is no other way to go about it, so here goes: as a journalist, you must blog to see how humbling, educating and eventually beneficial this is going to be for your career considering the always-on, online, always-updated nature of modern news business. The first thing when you will write for a blog is how ordinary you are because you will have for company thousands, if not million sof other writers writing about the same topic as you, but with different views. Mostly, at first, you will find how lame, same and banal your writing is. It is no different from all those other articles out there. Once you get over the shock of it, your re-learning starts.

Given the discussion above, I think that the EduBlog community can describe itself as a network of practice. Nobody knows how many members there are in this network, nor who are the formal NoP leaders. The discourse across the network is hardly homogeneous. But Edubloggers do seem to be a network of individuals that “interact through information exchange in order to perform their work, asking for and sharing knowledge with each other.” Wikipedia. Of perhaps more interest and the subject of needed research is the effect of the Edublogger Network of Practice on its members and more importantly on the wider teaching and learning community.
