What do you think?

"Weblogs" are more commonly referred to as blogs. Blogs allow you to involve student feedback, vocabulary, and discovery in the classroom.

In this blog we are attempting to answer the question, "Who has the right to respond to Weblogs?"

Some people believe the answer to this question may be the audience the weblog addresses, some believe differently.

The purpose of a Weblog is to promote discourse between people by reporting information. Therefore, if the information that is being reported is relevant to the reader, than responding to the content of the weblog would be appropriate. However, who is to say who can and can't respond to a blog?

Should anyone be able to post on a blog? Let us know your thoughts in the post section.

Please also visit our Wiki for more information about Weblogs!

Classroom Blogging v. Social Blogging

I think it depends upon who the blog is intended for. For example, in my classroom I would make the blog private so only my students would be able to post their comments. If I were in a more social setting, like Facebook, I would allow only my friends to view my content and post on my wall. The author of the blog dictates through their security settings who is able to write responses and who is not.
