I have been reading blogs and I really enjoyed the Duck Blog.  I teach creative writing and what a great way for students to publish their work.

This would be a creative way for my students to practice their typing and using their creativity.

I enjoyed a blog with students reviewing books and giving a short report of the book.  What a great way to have students do a book report.

I am already adding to my toolbox.  I think blogs are a good way for people to express themselves especially children.
