Summary: In this entry I add my own endorsement of students' reflective writings to other weblog-positive writings. I also provide some linkage, in case you want to dig in to the material.
Weblog positivity can be found in blogs/papers such as the following:
My now fairly extensive experience spans higher education activities which are almost pure paper through those that are mediated solely by what I can put on Blackboard. I have been collecting Word-framed semester-long reflective journals for 10 years.

It is with this background, plus the advocacies linked-to above, that I cast my vote solidly with the "strongly endorse weblogging" .
This is a vote-type entry [see just previous link for O Wrede's adaptation of Paul Ford's weblog typology (which can be linked to here . For the moment I say that the pay-off of learning-to-learn, aka deuterolearning, is an achieveable, and eminently worthwhile, goal. Weblogs, I believe, are a possible mechanism. Next entry will have some notes on "Why?"
