  • the students would not respond well to a teacher who enters the class blogosphere only to assign work or to evaluate their writing.

      Teachers who start using blogs sometimes play the old-fashioned role. It's great when they become aware of the importance of being there as one participant. Thus, teachers are more likely to be accepted and treated as a valuable source rather than the one who decides what has to be done and how good a piece of work is.
  • I was very impressed - the students had turned to the community of their peers to request feedback. Then, I realized that none of the children asked me for feedback.

      Asking for peer help is one of the new patterns. Do you believe adults would have the same behavior? I don't think so. Actually, they turn to teachers as the only legitimate source of knowledge, as the ones who can tell what is right or wrong.
  • they were not ready for corrections yet - they were simply interested in having conversations about their ideas.
