After taking the Blogs, Wiki's and Podcasts last summer i think i can do this. what i need to refine is how people will use it more. I am on the Steering committee of IRA Teacher Choices Project. i set up a wiki last year for teachers who read the selected books and could post their thought about how they would use the books in their classroom. Posting the books and writing a short synopsis was easy but to get them to write more in a blog didn't work. this year i will try and get a classroom to participate and see how that works. here is the blog http://teacherchoicesproject.blogspot.com/
i also taught summer school last year and the students loved writing on the blog, which makes me think that students might be good at showing teachers how to do it. here is the blog.

Cathy,
Glad to see you've started! I'm looking forward to the insights you gain on how some of these tools might work for you. Do you think the teachers lack of blogging was about time, too much on the plate, or need for more promotion?

mike,
i think teachers are not trained on using it as a tool and see it as just one more thing to do. students are more willing to try new things.
