=**Everything** below is from Ben Wilkoff's site: http://yongesonne.wikispaces.com/Classroom+Blogging= =Help for Advanced Users:=

How I created a blogging program in my classroom (All of my resources are works in progress):
Not my collection below...lost the source!!
 * 1) Set up blogs with students through a how-to.
 * [|Tutorial for Posting to your blog].
 * 1) Collect all user names and passwords through [|a jotform]. ([|Here is mine.])
 * Use a bloglines account to export an OPML file of all of the students' blogs.
 * Use the OPML file and [|grazr] to set up a place for students to explore each others' blogs and foster a writing community. ([|Here is mine.])
 * 1) Discuss and explore authentic writing topics.
 * Teacher topics.
 * Topics from websites.
 * Topics from students.
 * 1) Create [|blogging rules] with students to maximize buy-in.
 * 2) Discuss and model [|great comment writing].
 * 3) Create a format for honoring great writing on student blogs.
 * 4) Create a way of [|authentically assessing authentic writing] with students.

Others' Classroom Blogging Resources:
=Everything below is from:= =http://acacias.wikispaces.com/Referencias=
 * 1) [|Talkr]- Talkr converts blog entries into audio files (podcasts) that can be listened to on the computer or downloaded to an MP3 player (like an IPod). I have used this to help students hear their writing, bring the writing community away from the computer, and compare and contrast verbal vs. written power/persuasion.
 * 2) [|Justification and Resistence to classroom blogging.]
 * 3) [|Blogging advice from the experienced classroom blogger to the not so experienced classroom blogger.]
 * 4) [|Blogging as a writing tool]- This video advice for bloggers is from one of the original [|boingboing] creators. The videos that I find the most interesting are "Blogging as a Writing Tool" and "How to succeed in Blogging." [|Here is another way] of thinking about effective blogging.
 * 5) [|A Discussion of Authentic Voices in Blogging.] and [|Another take on Authentically responding to student writing.]
 * 6) [|Collaborative Writing]- This is one of the places that I would eventually like to go with my classroom blogging.
 * 7) [[image:http://static.flickr.com/94/252201223_6ba94815b0_m.jpg]][|Devoting an entire blog to one theme]- This is such an interesting idea to me, especially when looking at something as specific as apostrophe use. Check out the Flickr feed on the links within this page (The picture is from this feed and the t-shirt reads, "You're girlfriend kisses Good."). It is fantastic. (Here is [|a different site] dedicated to misused quotation marks.)
 * 8) [|Resources for making student blogs better.] and [|Here is another Resource Page].
 * 9) [|Reading means editing]- This different orientation for reading can be extremely powerful when doing classroom blogging.
 * 10) [|The Benefit of Irrelevant Posts.]
 * 11) [|Examples of elementary school blogging.]
 * 12) Support Blogging- A resource to help convince the technology/blogging doubters in your community. [|Here is another one] of these resource pages.
 * 13) [|Research and Instructions for Classroom Blogging.]
 * 14) [|Another way of setting up blogs in your classroom]- A well worded how-to.
