I saw this group present at CW 2005 in Stanford, and now they have remediated their oral presentation as web text, with at least one audio file. I have linked to the page where we are cited (shameless, I realize). But hey, we are just providing further evidence to support our argument: blogs can be a motivator, and when your article on blogging gets cited, you are motivated to keep blogging and keep doing scholarship on blogging.
In this same issue of CC Online, Collin Brooke has an article about blogging that Steve Krause responds to.

Copied from my bloglines site (be aware of that as I talk about who I blog with, and when).
URL: It Takes Time…and a New Element to Teaching & Learning
I'd really like to figure out how to quickly and easily blog items here, on bloglines, and on my other appropriate, thematica blogs (by Blog blog, my Visual Culture and Language Blog, my Teaching Blog). Or, maybe I just need to consolidate, and get a blog that allows me to use categories. ANYWAY.
A good entry from David Warlick about blogging, abut the perceived lull in blogging right now, about the fading of the initial energy. All that makes sense to me and mirrors my own experience, although I have also been thinking for a long time that their is a strange assumption among bloggers that taking breaks and using blogs only when they make sense to us is bad blogging. This blogging that we are doing in RPNM makes sense to me, and I am really enjoying what the Bloglines interface is doing for my blogging. But I suspect that when the class is over, I will cut back on my blogging until it is useful again.
Or, Cindy Nichols, Sybil Priebe, and I have plans to work on another blogging paper, so perhaps my blogging conversation will shift from blogging with the five of you in this class, and result in blogging with CN and SP. That kinda makes sense to me--blogging is not a solitary activity, but we also need to blog with different people at different times. Communities of Practice, anyone?

WOW. Not only did Ashley Holmes cite us in her paper, but she used a lot of my survey answers. Cool beans... I am so glad I was able to help.
Yes, Kevin, there is a lot out there about blogging now, but... I still feel like we have something very special/specific to say... the three of us, as a club, have so many separate ideas for one... and we've been using 'em longer than most who are just starting to write about 'em. I mean, some are still presenting at conferences about how to DEFINE them... "that's so four years ago." :-P
My goal for Spring Break: read Holmes' thesis and write comments (sideshadow if you will)... and search for other essays/articles.

An MA thesis on blogging--we get cited. http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/theses/available/etd-03222005-205901/unrestricted/etd.pdf
Draws on some interesting survey responses from teachers who use blogs.
An empirical study of blogging and learning. http://csdl2.computer.org/comp/proceedings/hicss/2005/2268/01/22680007b.pdf
ugg, there has been a lot written about blogs in the last few years.
