Student blogging takes a turn for the better

Konrad Glogowski writes about a major shift in his eighth-grade students' 
blogging activities on the blog of proximal development. With a blog name 
like that you know there's going to be some high-flown edspeak, but Konrad 
gets down to Earth in describing the students' experience.
While the class had shifted two years earlier from passive receivers of 
knowledge to writers, the shift that Konrad is intrigued with is a shift 
from individual writers to participants in a writing community.
