Language teachers have for many years advocated journals writing as a means of learning. The Editor of Microdoc News, when teaching in secondary and tertiary levels advocated and maintained a journal well before the time of personal computers.

Weblogg-ed: Weblogs as articulation tools. Quote: "The biggest hurdle here as voiced by both groups is getting teachers to actually use it once it's set up. At some point, I'm going to have to focus on that question as well as we move to Web log Web site. We've talked here about replacing the normal hallway or cafeteria duty that our teachers have with Web log duty or providing some other release time to those willing to maintain the individual sites. And I know that a key to success here will to focus on the integration of Web logs into the curriculum. If that is successful, the Web site as a whole will be successful as well. Still, it might be interesting to get a conversation going about ways to bring teachers to the table and participate in lesson archives or other such activities." [Serious Instructional Technology]
