Brainstorming on blogs...? - an experiment...
Can it be done? Hit comments and write down any ideas you have on activities you could do on a blog for EFL... Publish after every couple of ideas and read what the others are saying... Add your ideas however similar they are to the others.
You can use blogs for sts to give their opinions on something ( after giving them prompts on what to comment about) instead of creating projects on paper have them in blogs (islands/planets/block of flats) interviews agony aunts/uncles
Communication gap: one student has some information and the others have to try to find this information by asking questions. In the blog all the students can see the answers to all the questions.
we are not sure that it would be such a good idea for sts who have bad handwriting!!! She is absolutely obcessed with the bloody writing!!! Only kidding, 'cause so am I!!!!!
any work that requires writing opinios - nb Carol's ession on 'opinion's' - this way you are open to genuine feedback, but also makes sts think about making their views sound more acceptable by knowing they have an audience...

Isn't there a delay between writing and posting your ideas?
Additions and alterations could be made to the initial ideas.

It hardly takes any time between writing and publishing. It's all at a click of the button.

Sorry for all hungry ones, I think you cannot eat blogs, but it is only 10 minutes until lunch time

i like the idea of continuing conversations as different characters - getting into character and creating an alternative identity

what's wrong with burgers and chips they are a good source of nutrition particularly when you are starving!
