I think this is a fun, easy to use tool. I have not figured out a practical application for use in my classroom yet....but I will keep thinking about that. Lots of personal applications though. I am going to try to talk my brother into blogging about his marathon training sessions. It would be a nice option for the kids to have when they have journalling assignments, but the access/security options would need to be worked out.
Now on to Week Two!

Hi there. I'm just blog hopping so I hope you don't mind me looking around.
I look at teachers in high esteem for without them we're raising a civilization of barbarians.
As for your problem,you can go to this website and look around http://www.adrianbruce.com/blogging/blogging.htm
Its a nice idea to let children to express themselves through blog. Maybe you can ask them to comment through your blog after you made a blog entry or podcasts (e.g poem ,short story or a quote from a famous person) or inspire them to make their own digital stories through blog.You might be surprised with the kids' answers especially from those who are timid.You can introduce them to flickr,wikis,podcasts,skype and webcams.Have them make their own blog and have kids react on each others blogs. That would be fun.
However, there were problems about parents' uneasiness when it comes to posting their children's photos on their blogs so take caution.
Anyway, blog on!!!
I am in agreement with you Scott. I am unsure about how blogging can be used in relation to my classes. I am enjoying reading through all of the different blogs though.
