Coming of Age & Keeping in Touch with Technology

I have finished my assigned reading and I am learning a great deal about weblogs and how teachers are applying them in their classrooms. There are certainly plenty of creative and innovative teachers out there. Once this course is done, I am going to take the time to go through all the materials and the websites that they suggest you go and see because I want to learn as much as I can about it.
I want to make a quick comment on connective writing in blogs - where posting ends and blogging as an academic exercise begins. I was looking at what was considered a post and what was considered a complex blog. I was comparing that to my writing and realized that my writing is just a simple form of blogging. But, I do want to include pictures and hyper-links (something that I have never attempted yet) so that my blogging would be considered real-blogging. This is according to the book Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms (Will Richardson).
The other book that we are reading Coming of Age, which is a compilation of articles by educators who are all for weblogs, wikis, etc...is very informative and filled with great suggestions. I just printed it off and had it bound because I plan on using that as a guide for my personal use and for teachers who would want to learn more about it.
It is funny that it is the educator who is coming of age and trying to catch up with our youth who are creating and coming up with ways to utilize technology (by leaps and bounds). What is key about this is that the our youth need to be taught about the ethics and proper etiquette about using technology. They know so much but, at times, do not know that some things are unacceptable.
