The Truth About Blogging

So far the information students have shared on their blogs has been overall quite positive. I've seen some of them reading (and commenting on) each other's work; I've seen some interesting little "a-ha" moments in their writing; and I've even learned a thing or two from reading their research. However, the following post is so refreshingly blunt, and yet so effective at serving its academic purpose, that I have to share it here:

"The Truths That All Teachers Know"

Here are the first two sentences (my favorite part): "So, this blog idea is both ingenious and evil. As I understand it, the idea is to make sure that students are actually, you know, doing their research."

Yes indeed.
