Another great blog! Ewen MacIntosh adds to the argument with the publication of the literacy outcomes - http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/ewan_mcintosh/2008/02/beyond_the_three_rs.html
I have to disagree with your mention of blogger! I am much preferring edublogs and their new forum link looks like being a really useful tool. I like that I can moderate pupils comments before publisheing (like blogger) but that they do not have to sign up. It also takes away the problem of 'next blog'. My S3 site s3admin.edublogs.org is underway but it is early days! Lastly, my GLOW mentor training takes place next Tuesday/Wednesday, I will let you know how that goes and what impact it will have on your comments.
Great to see you back online here! I would also lean towards a Word Press Multi User or wordpress.com blog instead of Blogger, just because of those blasted Next Blog buttons which take you to *anything* and everything. You can remove them, but it's a pain and against Google's rules of use.
