Even if you’re not inclined to vote, this site is well worth a look to see what sorts of Educationaly oriented blogs there are out there. I came across a number I hadn’t heard of, and have added them to my RSS aggregator (NetNewsWire Lite in my case) to keep up with what is being posted on them.

One of the sites I came across is called SchoolBlogs , a Manilla-based blogging environment that is created for school-level users.
SchoolBlogs was set up by Peter Ford, a former teacher at the British School of Amsterdam, and Adam Curry, ex MTV-vj and co-founder of the United Resources of Jamby. The aim is to make available the potential of weblogs to the educational world. To that end, anyone involved in education can create and maintain an individual SchoolBlog here free of charge. The process is simple, taking a matter of seconds to create an online writing space with its own ‘look and feel’.
(NB SchoolBlogs is having problems with its ISP at the moment, so you might find it a bit slow to download – but if you’re looking for a place to set up a project-based blog for your class this could be for you!)
