Blogs are excellent for education. There are so many different ways to use them as a learning tool. Most importantly it makes it easier for teachers and librarins to collaborate.
The most obvious choice is for book discussion or book clubs. Along with discussion, teachers can post assignments and homework.
Many of our students are involved in school clubs and teams. They often have questions as to where and when meetings or practices will be held. It would also work well for their fundraising sign ups, such as bake sales.
One of our physics teachers recently got his class involved in researching technology based physics projects that were influencing/helping people globally. The class became very interested in the Solar Light Project, but had difficulty getting information synthesized. This would be great for them. They did fundraising and got the whole school involved in sending a solar light creation to Malawi. But they often had trouble viewing videos from Malawi. This would be a great place to post the videos and messages.
