Blogs and Education A couple of notes from John Robb's blog concerning efforts to place Manila in higher ed architecture moves me to believe a community could develop to : Chronicle efforts - especially reports on systematic or comparative research Document how blog tools are integrated with more complex CMS systems Document cost savings and productivity gains Document extending these services to everyone -- staff, students, faculaty and administration. A series of comments attached to these notes indicates I share the same questions as a couple of others. I see immediate utility at both the administrative and instructional levels.  Administratively, we share a need for newsfeeds for pieces about our institutions and the system as a whole.  We also need to share knowledge among CIOs and IT directors.  A site similar to Phil Windley's would fit well.  Opportunities at the instructional level are too numerous to mention here. So, I'll put up a category and hope to find others willing to share as well.     comment [] 12:07:03 PM
