Abstract
Weblog (blog) technologies have moved into the public awareness. While these technologies have been around for several years, they have been gathering more attention inside and outside the educational arena. Starting in spring semester of 2005, we began a professional development program for a group of teachers which used the blog technology as part of the program. This paper explains our methods for using blogs in the professional development experience, shares some examples of teacher work, and reports the results from a research project currently being conducted to better understand the students' experiences with the technologies and the potential impact of these technologies on their professional development.
