In Will Richardson's blog on Metablognition he talks about how blogging can become one of the fundamental ways we ask students to write. I would go further and ask whether blogs imitate the way we naturally process knowledge. When I'm working through a problem, issue, or topic I run conversations through my head where I challenge and/or support my ideas and assumptions. When I'm having a conversation/debate about something with my colleagues we do the same thing with each other. It seems that this is the kind of process we can expect from blogging. Since I'm new to this I'll have to wait and see.
Since this is a photo blog I can't go without posting a picture. In my classes we've been working on the quality of light. This is from one of my Photo 1 students who was paying attention.
I wonder what great student that could be...
