Some background to the project...

I came across this paper you might be interested in: http://www.cdlr.tamu.edu/dec_2004_proceedings/Rynearson1.pdf "The primary research question guiding the study is: Are web logs a viable technology for improving students reading/writing achievement? The study addresses this question directly by measuring students performance on end-of-year measures of reading/writing achievement." It's a great read. Unfortunately the results are not in as yet. However, the way the project was designed is of interest to me. This paper was found on a great edu-blogging website: http://www.weblogg-ed.com/
