Great Teacher Blog Site

I was searching for blog uses in the classroom and came across a teacher that uses blogs extensively in his 5th grade classroom. I haven't researched the entire site, but I was extremely impressed with his use of blogs in the classroom. I especially like his idea of using blogs for a novel study of the book "Holes" I will do more research on his site, but it is definitely worth checking out. Listed below is the link.

This is my first time ever writing a blog. My experience with blogs mainly comes from television shows. On Sportscenter, I am constantly hearing about athletes (mainly Gilbert Arenas), sharing their thoughts and opinions about everything and anything. The other experience comes from the show How I Met Your Mother, when Barney yells "You're going in my blog" or he asks his friends "Haven't you read my blog today?" So, what are some our your experiences with blogs? I am looking forward to learning more about blogs, and specifically trying to find ways to implement them into my 3rd grade classroom.
