There were several things from this week's work that could be applied to what I do as a library media specialist. Listening to the podcast about the use of blogs in the classroom was very interesting and I might pursue that sometime. I was surprised to hear that the teacher was using blogs with 3rd and 4th graders, but it sounds like they really had their t's crossed and i's dotted before they started using them. Blogs are a forum in which students who would rather not voice ideas in class or ask questions in a group setting might be more comfortable communicating.
Elgg sounds like it might be a good blog site for education. One of the articles we read was about Elgg. There seem to be a gazillion blog sites out there and plenty that are meant specifically for educational settings. I think it is just a matter of finding the one that best suits the school or class.
