Blogs in Teaching

I'm going to have less time for blogging here because I am requiring my students to write blogs (instead of the web board assignment I have previously used) and so I am keeping one related to the class myself as a model. I won't put a link here as I don't want to make it easy for them to find this blog, but my course blog is on blogspot with the name hist323 so you can find it easily enough. It will take a week or so before the students start writing their own blogs, which will be the interesting part. Right now I have to go write them directions on how to start a blog.
