Edu-Blogging...USA??

To think that kids in the US are already using blogs to analyze and evaluate books and other writing. That's true though, that we would have to do this in small steps and make sure that whatever blogging we set up for our students is done in a safe way somehow. I also think that it's important to remember that (I think?) standards and laws in the states are different than those in Canada. Thus, there might have been less red tape for teachers in the US to set up edu-blogging for their students. But that is not a reason to be discouraged!I would love to hear of an example of someone in Canada who set up edu-blogging for their students and it actually worked. I would always be scared that I would end up in OCT's bluepages for setting something up that 'crossed the line' - even when you don't intend for it to. There's always such a risk!...but it would be so worth it!
