Teacher's blog with explaination: http://www.thereadingworkshop.com/2009/09/blogging-in-classroom.html
Example of student blog: http://darrens22.wordpress.com
I found "The Reading Workshop" blog. It had a lot of great examples of both the teacher's blog and students' blogs. I liked how there was video, pictures, and texts used in the blogs. I also liked how the student's blog shows different types of writing: journals, poems, writing a letter, etc. I also like how the teacher's blog includes a rubric for students to know how their blog and comments to other blogs will be graded.
This was a sixth grade class and I only teach third grade, but I still think I could use a similar blog in my class to express ideas, thoughts, and responses about books or what is happening in my students' lives. I thought I could have my students pick their favorite book and write a summary including characters, setting, plot, etc. I also am thinking of a personal narrative in the beginning of the school year about summer vacation.
