this blog will provide those of us interested in theorizing blog use in the classroom with a space to hash out ideas, propose theories, invite readers, and debate their possibilities and limitations

 
Even though our panel wasn't accpeted, I'm going on the assumption that we may still do a panel in a different setting (or write a collaborative paper). An interesting discussion at Crooked Timber (I'll paste the URL to avoid direct linkage) on privacy and blogging. Apparently course blogs may in fact violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, designed to prevent the publication of student information (enrollment in classes, for example) in public. Because blogs are public mediums, course blogrolls may be technically violating this act.
