Abstract

A professor and student have a conversation about using blogs as part of a mathematics class. The goals of using a blog include giving students a motivation to read ahead in their textbooks, providing another means of communication between students and the professor, and creating a space for students to write about mathematics. The article also poses behind-the-scenes technical questions to be considered in selecting and implementing blogging software.
