Unfortunately I think the process closely resembles the standard model of think, write, and discuss since blog entries are typically written in isolation. You had your students create their blog entries in the same room at the same time after witnessing the same event. This is far from typical. A better idea might have been to have students respond to the same blog post via commenting. This is where you more commonly see multiple opinions/voices related to the same theme - a singular blog entry.

Marc Prensky's Weblog: Make those You Tubes! - 1 views

But with You Tube and Flip videocams (and, of course cell phones that take video), the latter problem, at least, has been solved. Now all that has to happen for sharing is for a teacher to ask a student to point a video camera at them, and for the teacher to say, in 30 seconds, exactly what they typically tell me in person: "I'm doing this really exciting program where we...". Add two students talking and a shot of the classroom, and you're ready to post (which the student can also do) Total time elapsed: 15 minutes tops.
