Also, if you are interested in getting your students blogging, I would be happy to work with you in your classroom to get that up and running. Blogging is a unique way to work towards the CCSS Writing Standard #6- Use technology, (when it works of course) including the internet, to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others.
