Three Educational Blogs

No more chalk dust for me!

These are  blogs that show how a blog can be used in teaching.

Sarah Plain and Tall  at http://sarahplainandtall.blogspot.com
I really like the simple style of this blog.  It would be so easy to use a blog like this for any book that your class is reading.  Instead of having kids write about the book, let them post to a blog.  Fun and easy!

Mr. C's Class at http://mrcsclassblog.blogspot.com
This blog has a huge assortment of ideas for using a blog in your classroom.  Mr. C says it is to model the use of technology to teachers and students.  The blog has a survey, kids writing assignments, posts about what kids have learned in math, and links to a myriad of educational sites such as the library, current events, current weather, and keyboarding games.

Lutherville iLab  at http://luthervilleilab.edublogs.org/
This school blog has photos, slideshows, and videos showing what kids are learning.  Kids can post comments about their projects and learning, and parents can see what is happening at school.  It's an appealing blog with lots of fun ideas for not only using a blog, but for teaching.
