Shared writing through collaborative blogs!

Collaborative blogs are a great way for young children to pool their research, raise questions, and share what they're finding. Check out this great second grade blog: http://allaboutbears.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html

The blog was cited in Knobel & Wilbur's (2009) Educational Leadership article, Whether it's Web 2.0 or Literacy 2.0, it's a whole new way of thinking.

What would you post and what would you say about your research with this tool?
