Digitally Speaking / Blogging
"In collaboration with my colleague Mike Hutchinson, I have begun to introduce the tools of the Read/Write web to my students. Specifically, my class is now blogging and podcasting. 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."
50 Useful Blogging Tools for Teachers | Teaching Tips
"Blogging is becoming more and more popular in the classroom. Teachers can blog to stay in touch with parents and students or they can incorporate blogs from all of the students as a learning tool.

SimplyBox - Think Inside the Box
As you surf the Web, you constantly find information/content that you would like to keep. Bookmarks and e-mail force you to keep entire web pages. And as you keep more pages, the harder it is to find them later.
SimplyBox's unique patent pending technology allows you to capture and keep just the parts of the page that you want: a sentence, a picture, a paragraph you decide. Each part of the page that you capture is an Item. A collection of Items is a Box. You can have Boxes on any subject/category you want: recipes box, funny jokes box, stocks box, etc. Items and Boxes are more visual and flexible to organize than lists of bookmarks, URLs, or e-mails. And sharing it with friends/colleagues becomes a very quick, dynamic, and fun exercise.

Educational Blogs You Should Be Investigating | Making Teachers Nerdy
What I’ve pulled for you today are blogs divided by subject and grade level for you to quickly reference, but I do encourage you to explore blogs outside of your curriculum, as well. Some are classroom blogs. Others are teacher reflections. A few are teaching strategies with classroom resources, and there are even some from outside education, but relate to your curriculum.
