I've been browsing different sites looking for more ideas, and I found this great site that has a whole list of links you can use if you're looking to start blogging with students. The links are all incredibly helpful, including a list of reasons to blog, such as differentiation, connections, and tracking student progress. There's also a list of step you can take to help students have more meaningful experiences blogging. This is a big winner for me because of the step by step lessons that will prepare students to get the most out of the blogging experience. My big fear is that students will post inappropriate or pointless comments, but these frontloading activities will help avoid that. This site contains many more articles and resources, and I'm finding it the best place to go to get myself started. http://digitalwriting.pbworks.com/w/page/17812820/Using%20Blogs%20in%20the%20Classroom

Again, a great site! I am very interested in blogging as a math teacher, but I want to make sure that my students are gaining information and not just going through the motions or not blogging at all. This site is a great resource for how to make blogging meaningful and why blogging is important.
