I’m for it! I love the idea of using educational blogging in my classroom. This would be an excellent way to communicate with the parents of my first graders about the exciting events that happen in our little world. In fact, the kids would be able to describe and voice their opinions (find their voices) in a community with teacher and parent support. I believe this will be a huge motivator for the reluctant reader/writer to work on skills so that they can get their ideas across. This could even be used as an informal research site to learn about community jobs and aspects of various cultures…especially with the families within the classroom. Posting homework would be easy along with the list of sight words, spelling words, math activities for enrichment and remediation, at home science experiments, etc. This is exciting!

I agree with you. This is exciting. Whether you use it with your first graders, or I use it with my high schoolers, I can see how blogging will enhance the classroom in many ways. I do think students will be able to find their voices in new and interesting ways. I also hope my students will be able to become more critical readers and more skilled writers when they write for a larger audience than just me.
