Mr. Harbeck teaches math in Winnipeg, Canada. He is using blogs similar to the way we use them in my class. The students are given a assignment, and required to post it to a blog. They may just have to write about what they learned in class that day and give an example, or they may be given a problem and asked to explain how they came to the correct answer. This helps pick out shy students who may not fully understand but are afraid to ask. This prevents the old "the dog ate my homework excuse" and I believe it would cut down on the amount of homework problems.
