Some teachers may want to password-protect some portions of their blog or their students' blogs. Others may want to open it up. All of the major blogging systems that I'm aware of allow for both types. How cool would it be for elementary students to become published authors?! The security issue certainly can’t be ignored.

I currently use email with students, parents, and outside volunteers for feedback on writing. This sounds much easier. I'd like to find out more about using this in the near future.

Would our Teacher Webpages be considered a weblog? Could we pursue creating a "discussion" element to the Teacher Webpages for teachers to direct their students to?

I have a few ideas for how I hope to use it. I thought it might be a good way for teachers to share their expertise with each other. This site is one where a first-year teacher and her mentor share the mentoring experience for the benefit of other teachers. I plan to use MT in my French, Science and Social Studies classes. Assignments can easily be added and modified. Students can share ideas and web resources for collaborative projects. I'm excited about the possibilities! Good luck. I plan to follow this site and see how things go. Thanks for this great resource. A couple of ideas from north of the border:

Here's a perfect example of how blogging can encourage connections between people with shared interests. I had promoted this blog's existence with only about 20 people in my own school district. Imagine my surprise at learning someone from outside had already found it! Please check out the link Jason posted above. This is an application of blogging I certainly hadn't thought of. Hi Jason,

It would be fun to try a project to see if it's a practical application to use. Any electronic meassaging could be interesting and useful.
