At the beginning of the spring semester, I noted that the Political Communication Seminar at the University of Virginia and the English 12 course at UNC-Chapel Hill were making use of blogs in their course work, and were using Framing Science as a shining example!
Here at American University, the School of Communication has created a page highlighting just a few of the many examples of how blogging technology is being incorporated into the curriculum for students majoring in journalism, strategic communication, and film. Check it out.

The broader question about how to best incorporate blogs into the academic scholarship stream and how to account for the value of contributions in the academic reward system is a common one:

(His answer - no, but very useful as a starting point)
linked from the "Economics Roundtable" aggregator blog.
