Educational Blogging

So for another class, I have to discuss on my blog (no way I'm making a different one after coming up with the perfect name) some educational blogs and how blogs can be used in a classroom.  Well first I think I'm going to use our lovely teacher Amy's blog More than Words, since she was the first teacher I've known to have her students create their own blog. http://content-area-learning.blogspot.com/   I never really thought about using blogs as a teaching tool.  But from the some of the sites I've come across, that's the direction some elementary schools are headed (especially in New Zealand apparently).  There are blogs like 2M Gems, where the teacher posts things not only related to her classroom, but also whatever is on her mind: http://www.2mgems.blogspot.com/  Which I think is neat because the students can use it for review.  Or there are blogs such as Room 9 Nelson Central's Blog 2007, which has student made videos (probably an assignment) posted on the page for parents to see what their children are doing: http://room9nelsoncentral.blogspot.com/ 

Alright well neat, that should do it.  Thanks for following, tune in next week... or whenever I post for the most recent updates on things that concern me. Same blog post, same blog internets!
