Not this but that. Weblogs, says Andrew Grumet, are "closer to jazz improvisation than Beethoven's fifth". It's a good thought, though it presents problems for teachers who need to decide what sort of structure to give an assignment. Do you:

Put the cornet or the login for Radio on the table the first day and they will learn? (That is more or less Harold Hill's think system, I believe.

Put some music books and some links to a few key posts about blogging on the table and they will learn?

Put some time into learning music theory and coming to an understanding of what blogging is good for, then considering a structure of assignments and experiences that will support the values that reside in the cornet and the sheet music or in the weblog and the blogosphere? [0 & P]
