Coup de pedagogue.

Ahhh, nothing better than using terrible French!

More to le point :o) Have just published my third (and last) bit on the potential of personal publishing in education over at Xplana...

Basic Summary: It's the pedagogy, stupid ;o)

It might seem glaringly obvious but it's an understanding that I've come to fairly slowly, but I do reckon I'm right!

I guess what PP really needs is for someone to subversilvely incorporate it into the mainstream... win them over from within... heh, that could be fun ;o)

Here are the three articles:

The Potential of Personal Publishing in Education I: What[base ']s doing & who[base ']s doing it?
The Potential of Personal Publishing in Education II: How[base ']s it going & what[base ']s working?
The Potential of Personal Publishing in Education III: Where to now? 

I've learnt a hellofa lot along the way, thanks for all the thoughts!
