Weblogg-ed - Using Weblogs and RSS in Education : Video

At this years NECC conference Intel presented a movie about blogging in education. It featured Will Richardson and a few of his students at Hunterdon High School in Flemington New Jersey.

Hunterdon gives a Manila powered blog to some of its students to help them hone their writing skills. Students are encourages to write in their blogs, and solicit feedback from their teachers, peers, and volunteer mentors.

I think this short movie could be a great way to evangelise the use of blogs in education settings. In less than 2 minutes this movie describes bloggings benifits far better than I generally can in 1 hour of conversation.
