Reading over my first post, I am struck by how "text" -y it is. Writing for a blog is not like writing for a typical "academic" situation. I guess I'll have to shift out of "boring" gear and into something fresher.
I definitely can see how a blog will elicit different texts and thoughts from students. What I would write in this blog would be really different from what I might offer in a class, and I'm sure the same is true for my students.
I love the idea that all of my thoughts and work and process on a particular topic would stay in one place rather than being jotted down and scattered throughout my papers.

Yes...this is one of the reasons I love blogs for classes...it can function as the course notebook. All in one place and all there to reflect back upon (or study from) at the end.

Blog as notebook is a good description. Adding to that thought, I'm thinking that my iGoogle aggregator is my CIS237 briefcase, and like my physical briefcase it will need to be cleaned and and better organized now and again.
This is exactly why I got rid of all the static junk on my old course website (dcamd.com) and made it into a blog... in class I am more formal while there I let my hair down (hahaha).
