So I was perusing the Internet for some ideas for blogging with elementary school children. I haven't come across too much yet. I did find one site that listed a bunch of blogs by elementary school students, but it seemed like they were more like online journals. I didn't check them all out yet, so maybe there will be something. Here is the link....

The students from this site seem to enjoy the blogging. I haven't found too much with elementary blogs. I wonder if no one thinks to use them, thinks that it is too difficult, or just doesn't know enough about them. If anyone finds any blogs that show more than elementary school children just journaling, please let me know!

My First Blog
I have never used a blog before. I have also never really read any blogs. Yes, I have read some just in passing, but I don't read any daily, weekly, or even monthly. But after reading the first few chapters in Will Richardson's book, I must say that I am intrigued about the place of blogs in education. I think that it is a very interesting idea, and I would like to learn and explore more about how they are used in the classroom. Richardson gave some ideas in his book, but I would love to see some current blogs that are being used in classrooms, especially elementary schools. I would love to find a blog where young children are blogging away, even if it is not school related. I think that it would be interesting to see what they have to say and how they write in a totally different format. Has anyone seen any blogs like this? Are there any blogs that you frequently go to just for your own enjoyment?
