I really want to have a blog work in a school setting! I truly think that this is one app. that we should be really encouraging with all of our students. Whatever source we use to promote this skill is really not a relevant as the skills that will be developed as a result of what potential there is for learning within a blogging atmosphere. I can see opportunities for literature reports, editorial practice, encouraging list making (favourite books ex.) commenting on the daily news, writing science reports, book reports, journal entries, comments about field trips, debating, etc. The opportunities are endless. Students love to share their work! We need to encourage more sharing and collaborating within a more public domain so to equip our students with the skills of communication and etiquette that they will require in their future. This is a global opportunity and our students are a part of this global community. Let's open up discussion about the "how to" rather than the focus on the why we cannot.
