Blackboard, Student and Publishing on the Web 

I thought I discussed Laura Gibbs' blog post about student publishing and Blackboard last semester, but a quick glance at the archives indicates that I was mistaken. Anyway, Gibbs does an excellent job pointing out the limitations of Blackboard as a teaching tool for those who want to use technology to "boldly go where no classroom has gone before."

On the other hand, as John Kruper points out in his blog, it's impossible to ignore what Blackboard can do in terms of the more administrative aspects of class management. Blackboard provides a consistent interface, grade management, assessment tools, etc. that, well, I know I can't do with a blog.
