I have looked at way too many blogs today. It was interesting reading the numerous ways to use a blog in teaching and I see myself having a blog to promote new books, or provide a book club for the students. I also liked the idea of having students use a blog to talk about acts of good at school. Teachers are suppose to do this all the time and this would be a great way for students to add to the positive support. Our PTO is always struggling for new ways to reach more parents and a blog would allow those who can't attend meetings to keep in touch. I'm not sure I will be able to digest all the settings that are available but, I can always watch the video clip again.
I liked hearing that there is a setting that allows you to review a posting before it is on a blog. One bad egg can really mess it up for the entire group. Yes it would be a lot of work to monitor postings but, it may be worth it if you create a blog for students to use.

Wow! You have some great ideas! I really like the idea of using a blog in book clubs to promote books and get students talking about books in a different way and in a different, possibly more interesting forum. I also like your idea of using a blog to catch students doing good. I may have to use your idea and give it to our PBS (positive behavior support) team as a way to promote our school rules. Thanks!
