NBC Nightly News (Friday, Feb. 8) ended with a story of a blog being published from the transcripts of letters written by William Henry Bonser Lamin, a soldier in the first World War. To quote the blog: "The letters will be posted exactly 90 years after they were written. To find out Harry's fate, follow the blog!" Visit the blog at: http://wwar1.blogspot.com/.
This seems to me a pretty interesting use of blogs. It makes me think that blogs could be used by teachers for creative journaling projects. For example: students could construct fictitious characters yet have the story set in a specific time period in history. Characters created by classmates could interact with each other from the viewpoint of their character.
