Classroom web logs

Today's New York Times article on blogs raises some interesting points. I challenge why some disappointing blogging results have:

led some teachers who are critical of blogs to question whether the technology has actually done anything to interest students in writing. Critics also worry that the casual nature of writing on the Web may encourage bad habits that are hard to break, like e-mail-style abbreviations, bad grammar and poor spelling.

Technology has never been a solution for learning and should not be relied upon for motivating students to learn. It is rather the content or process of the lesson that should be interesting, and further facilitated by collaborative technologies such as web logs!
