what did we do?•How it was 2 years ago:
•My students don’t read much
•Which book is interesting?
•Book reports from internet / no reflection
•Simple rules: make you own weblog
•No paper books reports anymore !
•4 blogs per year on reading experiences
•at least 2 comments on blog student
•now all my classes write weblogs

2.Interactive learning: students reflections get better because of interaction
3.Inspiration: students inspire each other to read books
4.Motivation: students find blogging more interesting then writing book reports
