So here’s a question…if you were a teacher and you wanted to introduce your students to the joys of blogging, and you wanted to do it by having them read some blogs first, where would you point them?

So long-time edbloggers Tim Lauer and Tom Hoffman, both of whom will be on the panel I’m leading at NECC in a few weeks, scored the big time this week when the audio of their presentation “Remixing Wikis with Rendezvous, Web Services and SchoolTool” at the O’Reilly E-Tech 2005 Conference earlier this year got put on the list at IT Converstations, my favorite source of interesting podcasts. It’s a 15-minute or so talk about how the two of them created a locally run wiki solution for Tim’s elementary school kids in Portland. Now I have to admit, much of it went over my head, but the creativity and fun that the two of them are having with this is hard to miss…and that’s the important part.

Now all we need is a more happy looking Tom…
