Thanks for this question.  It's a good example of what I mean by 
creativity from the participants.  I think a "blog" has a lot of 
potential.

For the benefit of those who may not know this term, a "blog" is short 
for "Web log,"  narrative or expository, often very informal, web-based 
writing.  Some blogs I have seen have been first-person accounts of 
news stories, some have been travel diaries or journals.  There are 
lots of other uses I bet.

Anyone interested in doing a "blog" website or component with Bern's 
classes in Lawrence, Massachusetts?

Anyone -- including you, Bern -- care to add to my (limited) 
description of a blog and its capacity?

Susan Gaer, have you been using blogs?  Has anyone else? How?

All the best,

David
