I am absolutely pro blogging in the classroom.  From my own personal experience, my students blog almost every day in class.  I use the program Kids Blog so that it is private and no one outside our class can read the blogs.  My number one priority for my students is privacy.  We blog about what we are learning in each subject, summarizing books, and writing topics I give them.  As written in the article "Blog on" students can respond to each other.  I liked the idea of writing words students do not know and having others respond to it.  I believe that sharing ideas and understandings deepens the understandings of students.
