I would have to say that if I was to allow this in my classroom I feel that it would be best utilized for conducting research projects. As often as our children are on the computer and surfing the web they are bound to find something that would relate either to their project or maybe even one of their classmates. Working in small groups and using tools such as this allows them the real time research and without having to sit on the phone tying up the phone lines. They would be able to communicate the problems that they are having, information that they have found or even throw around a few ideas to the rest of the group to help spark some other avenue to look into.
Blogging is a fairly new tool for me. I have looked into it but never really used it. I am slowly getting into this but can see the definite advantages to using something like this as a running diary. The applications are so many that we would be here all day discussing them. I am looking forward to learning more as we progress.
