Classroom Blogging Resources


Today, I want to provide an array of excellent sources for blogging in the classroom. As teachers continue to think about integrating blogs into the classroom, I believe it to be essential for teachers to remain up-to-date on what types of research and studies are being completed on blogging.

Kevin, thanks for this post. I've added Penrod's book to my "to-read" list (to be completed after June...).
