Fellow Kairosnews editor and computers and writing researcher Matt Barton has been integrating technology into his courses for a while, doing some great work with using both wikis and phpBB in his teaching. If I weren't so busy using weblogs, I'd be following in his footsteps investigating their pedagogical value, too :)

Well now for the announcement. Matt has taken the portal plunge. Instead of a static front page in front of the class wiki and discussion forums, Matt has placed phpBB EZ Portal on the front of his site, MattBarton.net, turning it into a versatile content management system with a blog for Matt on the front page. Looks great from here, Matt! Now, just get us an RSS feed so we can follow along with your posts.
