Working with elementary students, blogging did not even cross my mind. But while looking through David Warlick's website I found that blogging can be incorporated in the classroom. It is a great way to keep the lines of communication open among staff, on and off campus. I work in a special education/inclusion classroom so we always get students from other campuses, blogging would be a great tool to use to share important information. I am constantly looking for new ways to engage my students, through blogging teachers can share ideas and strategies.
Blogging would be a great group project for students in middle and high school. Even a class would be great. Introducing this technology at an early stage will only benefit the students. Unlike me I have never taken a class like this. I do wish I had the opportunity at an earlier stage of educational career. This is how the world communicates and we need to better prepare our students sooner rather than later.

Josette, I agree that I would have never imagined elementary age children blogging! It seems to me that blogging is agreat way to find out what the children are truly understanding. It will bring them together and get them excited about technology. And, yes, they'll be technologically lightyears ahead of us! Kids are our future, so they should be as well equipped as possible!
