Questions to Consider:
Can place-blogging make more visible the material conditions of writing Wysocki ascribes to her definition of new media?
Does the nature of blogging sufficiently surface the role of technology in composition for those who use it? Can students adequately "consider the experiential and epistemological consequences of their new tools" through the act of blogging, or does the blog format/technology work to disguise those consequences? (Does blogging function for students too much as a means of publishing a final product, rather than as a visible means of constructing discourse?)
Is there a natural division between online places/communities and physical places/communities, or is it culturally constructed? Are the skills for "good citizenship" and place-connection learned online transferable to non-online communities?
Might place-blogging be important for OU students in particular, as a means of connecting to the Athens area?
