Blogging in the classroom with Edublogs

I created a blog today.  I am looking forward to using it in my classroom; I think it will be very helpful and fun to use!  I forsee me using this tool as a space for conversation and ideas to bounce around.  Students will be able to respond to the questions/comments of myself and their classmates.

Today I attended the Wiki training.  I see it as a helpful tool for use in student research.  Students can find information and include it in our wiki, being organized by pages.  I also hope to use a wiki with our 5th grade team.  I created a second wiki for us with the intention of greater collaboration between us.  It will be helpful for us to have a common webpage where we can share documents we have created, as well as add comments and such, so we have access to a great resource for years to come.

Here are links to my wiki's:
