Here is a good wiki about blogging in the classroom: http://educational-blogging.wikispaces.com/

Here are some ideas on ways to use blogs in your classroom:


 * Introduce a science experiment, and have students post hypotheses at home. Review them before the experiment. Afterwards someone could summarize the experiment and/or results and students could reflect or state their learning.


 * Teacher posts a math problem and student comment on solutions and strategies.


 * Post current events or articles related to current units and ask students to read, question and/or comment. Require commenting on a comment to encourage dialogue. (help students develop good questioning)


 * Student blogger of the day-various topics or focus. Summarizing, reflecting, explaining or asking questions. Class newspapers etc.


 * Respond to Transdisciplinary skills/attributes/attitudes etc. Describe one way you were_____or used_____.


 * Literature discussions from home reading assignments.


 * Record an “answer” and have student pose possible questions.
