blog by teachers -- good detail
checklist and notations about why blogging?
Excellent comprehensive overview of the use of blogs in classes and a good overview of using blogs in general

great point, since that's what "sold" me on a blog in the first place; you can have discussions and people can present different sides of an issue; it really promotes thinking and reflecting better than just writing something that only one student and their teacher see

Absolutely!
'Our student is genuinely excited to come home and show us what's going on at school. To read his own words and listen to his own voice on the Internet makes it all more real and fascinating for him. This knowledge will help him to better utilize these resources, increase his understanding and awareness of the technologies, and keep us parents in the loop :-)'—Jim, Parent

Blogging in the classroom checklist
"Blogging in the Classroom"
"Blogging and podcasting has allowed me to create a forum where my students discuss current events connected to our social studies curriculum while developing language arts skills like critical thinking and persuasive dialogue. It has also given my students the opportunity to be creators—rather than simply consumers—of online content. Finally, blogging and podcasting have given my students an audience for their ideas, which has increased levels of interest and motivation."
Nice resource for getting started with blogging
