Find 2 or 3 educational blogs you could use to model to your class as an example of effective blogs.
1) http://healthy-kids.com.au/category/1/blogs
The Healthy Kids Blog is an effective blog that allows students to explore and gain an understandings of issues that surround foods. I would use an age group of Year 4 (10 years old) and upwards. The content and features that make it a good model for use, is that it is colourful and organised in a logical format so students can navigate around the site for easy use. The content focuses on relevant issues that can serve as substantive point for futher classroom discussion.
2) http://www.21classes.com/
The 21 Classes Blog is a blog site that enable teacher to design with students effective class blog in which they can share and learn from each other to enhance there classroom learning experiences. I would use this with Year 9 (15 years old) and upwards. The content of the blog can be modified to the desires of the teacher or class and the features allow the students to be flexible and in control of how their learning is represented.
