Check periodically for seminars and publications.

A recent re-covering of mainstream ideas, but more than enough to get a fresh take on wikis.

UW Madison. I seek to provide teachers with a systematic survey of the anecdotal information out there on blogs (no formal studies have been published on blogs in teaching, to my knowledge) so that they can implement them in their own teaching.

Statement from the CCCC Blogging / Social Software SIG. Some general principles and resources.
