While you’re wondering about how to get your podcast going, have given much attention to getting your students blogging? Student blogging is a great classroom tool, to generate interest, and to help gauge progress. Here’s one from fifth graders, on science: Steve Spangler.
Let me also mention this site, The Living Classroom, which shows how blogging can be integrated into a great program for very young students — kindergarten, first grade, etc.

Retired teacher of law, economics, history, AP government, psychology and science. Former speechwriter, press guy and legislative aide in U.S. Senate. Former Department of Education. Former airline real estate, telecom towers, Big 6 (that old!) consultant. Lab and field research in air pollution control. My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

Thanks for sharing our blog about the kids who are blogging about October Sky and Homer Hickam. I encouraged another teacher to start her own blog at http://www.lisaheaton.com She’s still working on it, but the kids love to blog!
I’m trying to identify a group of teachers who are blogging with their students. I’m in the research stage of a new book and wanting to find teachers who are have some experience with teaching their students to blog.

But the difference is that your team at Youthinkleft are all volunteers. You make the point — students are capable and willing. So shouldn’t teachers use blogs as a tool of learning in the classroom?
