I ran across this elementary blog at the webiste Areallydifferentplace.com and it was very cool. Technology has its good and bad, and this is definitely a good. This keeps kids interested about their school, and its a smart tool for them to learn about things they wouldn't normally discuss in class. They are 6th graders and each student has their own blog. The teacher posts topics and classroom news daily. It's very neat. I wish we did this back in grade school!
The other blog I found was quite interesting. The elementary blog was from Ontario at
http://elementary.ontarioblogs.com/. The final post on the front page was a bid goodbye as their blog had come to an end. It started in 2006, but they could no longer find someone to sponser it, so they had to shut it down. Students from 4th grade to 12th grade could blog. I never realized how the online community used blogging as such an educational tool. Technology has surely evolved.
