To paraphrase those job ads: we welcome blogs from parents because they're under-represented amongst our bloggers. Doesn't have the right ring to it, though, somehow, does it? We're hoping that blogs will provide another useful way that parents and teachers can talk to one another. The miracles of feed readers such as <a href="http://www.bloglines.com/a" rel="nofollow">Bloglines</a>make it possible for people to take part in lots of blog conversations easily - you certainly can't do that at parents' night! I'm impatient to hear more already... BTW, have you any ideas how we might raise awareness of parent/carer blogging possibilities without alienating those unfamiliar with these technologies?
