Missing Link

I am supposed to be writing a paper about the results of my "study" using blogs to teach descriptive writing. I designed and taught the unit and now I have mountains of student essays and comments on their blogs and student feedback from the end of the unit. Deep inside my brain, I even have a semi-theory about how and why things worked.

But I can't find decent theory about using blogs in stuffy academic journals. Plenty of teachers out there use blogs in the classroom. Have any of them published theory/results/other academic junk? Probably. So, where are you???

So far, the only articles I've found deal with using those crazy "word processors" and new-fangled, and potentially immoral, "electronic mail."

I do not consider 1987 relevant to my study.
