ABC Blook on Blogging
Anne Davis’s 5th grade students from J. H. House Elementary school in Conyers, Georgia, had created this b[l]ook. Browse through the pages, look at the illustrations as well as the words and get a feel of how these primary school pupils are feeling about blogging.
Especially like the ‘V’ entry:
V
video blogs, voice, viva, venture
nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Hopefully, in the future, our school will have video blogs. Video blogs allow you to show yourself telling the news stories, instead of you just typing them. Until then, we�ll have to voice our opinions as loudly and as clearly as we can while typing. There are also photo blogs and audio blogs. There�s a saying nothing ventured, nothing gained and we believe that. We always try our best. Our group has had a good venture with weblogs and hope we will continue in the future. Until then we say Viva weblogs!
pLog – Open Source Blogging Software
In his series of postings to examine how one can give people blogs, James Farmer mentioned the software pLog which has features that are comparable to MT, but most importantly it is free. Will need to download and explore it further.

Student blogs offer new recruiting tool
This story in eSN shares about US colleges/universities engaging students to blog to advertise student life to potential/future students.
Saw this interesting bit in pg 2:
“I know that there are people who contributed to newsgroups in the early nineties, who never imagining that someone would Google them in 2005, …”
Looking ahead, our students’ blogs today may soon become part of their CV/resume when they look for a job tomorrow. yah, y not? highly likely to be so *hmm*
