I think blogging is something that could be quite interesting if it was used within school. It is a way (a lot like web 2.0) for children to get their ideas, thoughts and feelings out without feeling nervous or shy. Perhaps different blogs could be run by different teachers to tackle various topics, from bullying to homework, it would give the children somewhere to ask questions, seek help or maybe just have a bit of a rant. It would give the teachers an insight into how the children are feeling about homework, etc and would give them the opportunity to change things, make them more interesting or accessible to the children.
It would also be a good tool for the parents to understand the work that their child is doing and the way they are feeling about school and life in general. Perhaps having a parents blog would also be helpful. It would be a channel of communication between eachother and especially the class teacher.
