One blog I found was by a teacher named Mrs. Wells who teaches at a school named Cambridge Elementary in Texas. Her students have a place on the class blog where they can tell about themselves and comment about certain things that go on in class. In her blog she talks about what they have done at school and what is coming up. She mentions a podcast about a musical and book float parade that they had at their school.
She also held one really cool experiment during a whole day of class labeled "I have a Dream". She labeled half of the class with red dots. These students could not eat at the same tables, play on the same equipment during play time or join in during other activities. She then asked them to post on the class blog about their experience. The kids were "shocked" and did not like to be the non red dots. The kids who were the red dots said they liked it because they got to sit on the "good side" of the cafeteria but they disliked not being able to play with their friends who were the red dots.

The second blog I found was for two fifth grade classes in Detroit. the site had games to play, pictures, a calendar and podcasts. The blog also had old tests for students to print out and practice. The site had a place for parents to look so they could help their children at home. This site was so much better than the first one. It had much more information and many educational links for both student and parent.
