While others have various note-taking capablilities, I like the comment section on Jog the Web and its visually appealing format. Thanks! Here is the question I frequently think about: How can I encourage others interested in project based learning to look at projects that already exist instead of trying to re-invent the wheel?

I loved finding new blogs to read so this was a neat way to do this. Now I'm thinking of ways I can use this in my college class (where I will require them to blog). Thank you for sharing this!

This was a lot of fun. I would like you to try it again sometime if you can. Props to Larry. He's another one of my favorite RSS feeds. For my own question of last week, I guess the dog ate it, or at least the server did. I did offer one up but with frequent server crashes in recent days, I have to assume it's lost on the web somewhere. Ah well - what will this week bring us Kevin?

Thanks. Lisa, it didn't take much time at all, to be honest. Just add a link, and copy your questions and input as a comment. I do agree that it could be more intuitive to look down to see the comment -- maybe some font color, or something. And, like Matt, I would not want to do it every time, but it was interesting.

I agree with those who said it is nice to see the actual blog, not just a link on Mr. Linky. Did it take you a long time to set up? I quite like it!

I particularly liked that their blog was linked to their question and appeared when you got to the question. I liked that because often when a URL is included, I'm just too preoccupied or lazy or distracted to pursue the link, but this way, it was right there. My question from this week, which I didn't submit on time, but which was screaming in not just my brain, but the brains of several other teachers at my school was: Who put those two goldfish in the grade six class water cooler?

It took me a minute or so to realize that the questions for 'Day in a Question' were at the bottom of the screen. I did like visiting the blogs of the participants--It's something that I need to do more often and it is helpful that Jog does all the clicking for me :) Hi Kevin,

I wonder if snap shots (I think it's called) which shows a preview of a page before you get there wouldn't do much the same for day in a sentence purposes. For the classroom, I think jog is a good format for something like a webquest where you have to find particular information at each destination.
