This blog is using the WordPress autoblog plugin to grab feeds from around the ELS Blogs site and publish excerpts here. This is useful for aggregating various distributing feeds all into one space that allows for quick perusal of what is being published on ELS Blogs. Moreover, this plugin might be useful for creating on the fly class aggregators in the form of a blog that is constantly grabbing relevant posts from particular student’s blogs and republishing them here (or in a blog quite similar). It by no means replaces the utility of a feed reader, yet it does make taking a snapshot of a series of blogs from a particular class at any given time quite useful. More than that, the more people you have blogging, the greater the possibilities for overlap and a more robust cross-pollination of ideas within this environment.
