Due to popular request I’m posting this short video (5 mins) on how and why to use blogs to engage students in the curriculum. It’s due to be shown at the International Blended Learning Conference on June 18th but please feel free to comment here before and after.
There’s also an accompanying paper which presents further explanation of how I’ve interpreted Garrison, Anderson & Archer’s work about social and teaching presence (and also the work of James Farmer, founder of Edublogs), and it would be great to hear your views. Here’s a link to the paper… 
Here’s the video…

Hi Lindsay – loved looking at this blog and watching the video – some excellent ideas and definately thought provoking. I really liked your metablog – only just spotted your blog yesterday – since you have inspired me to create my own blog – would you mind if I also created my own metablog (reflection)? I think it would be really useful…
Cheers
Dan

Well… it almost worked! An image and audio but no movement… unless you were actually talking without your lips moving
I shall do some investigating with Edublogs to find out how other people are finding the Webcam Comment gadget…
