Yep. That pretty much nails it. Thanks, Bud.

So I just ran across my first RSS feed with ads in my Bloglines reader just now. Oy. I’m not even going to link to it. Something about it really makes me unhappy, to the point where I’m wondering if I should unsubscribe in protest. I know a lot of people think this is an inevitable trend. I agree with Alan…I hope not.

In a recent podcast, Steve Dembo predicted that in a couple of years just about every school would have at least one student blogging away on his own time and space about what was going on at the school. Steve said it was something schools should get prepared for, and I agree. Especially now that parents and teachers are doing it too. Couple these examples with the student journalists in Georgia and it’s not hard to see the next meme getting started. Not to say that the old meme has stopped. But I’ve stopped, for now at least, trying to crusade for a separation of the genres, journal and blog. Not going to win that fight, I think.

Still, with all the good stuff happening these days in edu-blog land, you’d think there’d be room for another new meme in there somewhere…
