Blogger

I keep saying this is my favorite or that is my favorite but this has a lot of potential in the classroom.  I have had a blog for 2 years now and it is a wonderful tool.  Once a week I put on a bit of information (digital newsletter) for my parents and I also add a question for my kids.  I teach them how to comment successfully.  Then the first 10 minutes of their computer time (once a week) they have to answer the question.  Besides being a source of information for my parents, my students are able to be a part of it. 

If you can follow instructions or have someone who has one - blogger is so easy to set up.  The hardest part to me was finding the perfect way for it to look.  It can be as easy or as elaborate as you want it to be.  If you have a class blog, you could have students blog about what they have learned in a subject.  The applications are endless.
