Bloggers+on+Blogging+in+Education

Slide share: l&type=share_slideshow&subtype=slideshow || I found this to be an interesting slide show that gives you the what, who, when, where approach to blogging. It specifically talks about blogging as it pertains to students and education. It is not a slide show that I would read more than once. I would give it a 2, don't buy it, borrow it from the library!
