Here's my latest xplana piece which basically asks of weblogs in education the question 'what's working?' and to an extent 'why?'
I think that throughout my attempts to clarify what personal / social publishing can do for education I've always run up against this... if these are such free, liberating, personal tools then why don't they get used more? Originally I figured I'd got it wrong, that I'm not losing that 'control' thing that dogs so many teachers, but now I'm coming to think that in fact I'm recognising how this 'radical freedom' doesn't quite cut it and that our society (and ourselves???) demands structure, meaning and guidance...
Hmmm... still not too sure though, help!
