This weblog, before its use in exploring the effects of technology on writing and learning, was an exploration of the use of weblogs in education, specifically, ESL/EFL education. It has been used as the center of several presentations, listed above, and is also used continuously as a repository of notes and links on the subject. Comments are welcome!
