I am starting my BIO101 for adults course again on Monday and this time I am deteremined to use a blog in the classroom. To begin with, I copied my lecture notes here (still needs some fiddling and editing before Monday) and we'll see how it works out.

I am the Online Community Manager at PLoS ONE. My scientific specialty is chronobiology (circadian rhythms and photoperiodism), with additional interests in comparative physiology, animal behavior and evolution. I am not an MD so I cannot diagnose and treat your sleep problems. This is a personal blog and opinions within in no way reflect the policies of PLoS ONE. You can contact me at: Coturnix@gmail.com

I'm keen to know how this is going to go.. especially how/if the blog is able to promote discussion of important/complex/difficult issues.
Also- you will plan to use it for enrichment type activities- like posting interesting articles/news?? Please keep us posted. This is something I will do next class I teach.

An excellent pedagological move.
Next, we look for blogs to count as PEER REVIEWED literature.
Then you and the likes of PZ Myers will have it made.

It looks like a great resource. I don't know if it is just my browser, or perhaps my eyes but the colour scheme and the font size make it rather difficult to read.
I will certainly look at doing something similar in the future .
