I just stumbled upon this site, and it's awesome!!! It's almost like you can have your own online course on this site. The teacher can create assignments, tests, and even blogs.

This could be a great way for students to share pictures or tell a story.

Students of all levels would be able to navigate this tool. This could easily be used as whole group or individual instruction!

Create flow-charts, diagrams, even floor plans! This tool makes it very easy to create great looking diagrams. In the classroom the students could design K-W-L charts and all types of graphic organizers. This could be added to a blog and look really professional. This tool could be used in a whole group or individual manner! Only negative is you can only have a free 30 day trial and then you have to pay a fee!

Create flowcharts, diagrams, or even floor plans! This could be great for creating graphic organizers or for my students to create and label floor plans when we discuss home vocabulary.

I just tried this one and will have to see if it is blocked at school or not. I think it would be interesting to use with students if it isn't blocked. It presents a prompt for you to respond to. For example, I just responded to the prompt, "Describe when you have used something for a purpose other than its intended one." Even if it is blocked at school, I could still use it to get prompts for my students to blog about. Since I sometimes get creative block for coming up with prompts, this could be really helpful.

I think Blogger is a great tool for students and teachers to use. I love having a free spot to speak my mind and be able to connect with others in (and out) of education. I have a plan to start having my students blog about the books that they are reading as a way to document their reading towards our 25 book campaign.
