[] Concise article to build a case (to teachers/administrators and parents) on the positives of using blogs with younger students. Includes a sample from both a third grade and a seventh grade classroom blog.

[] Wonderful collection of educators' entries on blogging in the classroom. Billed as “powerful paragraphs on education,” and deservedly so. From a reader's standpoint, simply entertaining as well.

[] A teacher experienced at employing blogs in education shares basic definitions and concepts in student-created blogs. Especially helpful was the section roughly two-thirds of the way through where the teacher offers tips for sparking student ideas and avoiding some typical problems like negative posts from other students.
