Blogs in the classroom?

This article about blogs in the classroom has got me thinking about ways to roll with the revolution that is sweeping the world. Maybe I should start a blog that the students interact with, that we can all contribute to.

This year I've made several moves to keep up with the changes in our world. I dove into MySpace. I blogged. And in the classroom, I made room for more computer projects, mostly based on the iLife suite of programs. Abandoning some old projects like the Wax Museum has helped make room for all sorts of great learning.

Today the kids learned Comic Life. Last week they became comfortable with iMovie. The less I hold on to the past and dive into the revolution, the more good things happen in my classroom.
