Kristin Kakos' HS English students in Colorado use wikis to make personal philsophy statements (links to sample blogs at the end of the post).
One challenge that faces me each year is how to achieve cohesion between in-class activities, homework assignments, class discussions, creative projects, and essays (not to mention cohesion between units and semesters). With the guidance of the brilliant and charming Mike Porter, my students and I have discovered the glory of wikispaces.
Clarence Fisher's Social Studies students use their blog to do in character posts on the theme of the experienced of the colonized (see "Colonization Blogs"
You absolutely need to take a look at the blogs being written by other people in the class for the colonization project. There blogs can be found at these links:
Darren Kuropatwa's Pre-Calc student blog...look for "scribe" posts done by students (summaries and/or explanations of the day's activities)
Middle School Language Arts teacher Bill Ferriter uses cartoons via Voice Thread to facilitate (interactive) conversation.
MAC grad Rory Hughes used blogs to establish mentoring relationships between his students and adult mentors.
