Abstract :
In this paper we report on our experience using a blog to support teacher education. The system has been used to support communication and reflection while students were spending a period of teaching practice. The system has not been used, despite its potential usefulness. In this paper we reflect on this experience to identify strengths and weaknesses of blogs in supporting learning in the field.
