With students who have very busy schedules and students who may or may not complete the assigned work that is part of the points counted for their grades, how do you encourage them to participate in the blogging?  What percent of students fully participate and what percent make an attempt?

Thanks for your insight.  I look forward to reading your experiences.

Blogging creates a portfolio of each students work.  This will allow progress to be assessed.

Today I learned there is a limit on the length of micro-blogging.  Text type entries will be used to create a complete and concise post.

Students can create material and post while learning from the peers posts.  Technical ability can be expected. 

Social networking can add exposure to some material and facilitate greater dialogue for a fuller understanding.
