Well, the weblogs for service learning are finally getting off the ground. But I wasn't able to use my schoolblogs site like I wanted--no tech support on that from school plus old underpowered Digitals that seem to work fine with Blogger. I told my students that blogs are a combo: news/reflection/information/sharing. Some get it right away, some don't. Maybe all will by the end of May.

I have just revamped my blogspot weblog. Thanks to Will R's inspiring example
