second blog

Today i surved a little around trying to find teaching material. And looking at blogging more. Intersting site for this is http://www.weblogg-ed.com/ I still have to learn better how to integrate links. I think this program has a "blog-it" like the google-bar, which would be helpful.

dear students.

this blog should enable us to extent work beyond the classroom, something you all surely crave for ;-)

on the other hand it allows you to create what is discussed and how.

and I don't know where it will go from here. will it die away quickly? or will it thrive.

its (also) up to you!
