Our Assignment
Our assignment for this post was to check out various examples of students participating in blogging. The blog that I found most interesting was titled, "What's In A Name". The students were to research facts about their school, such as how it got its name, what were the school colors, and what their city was noted for, etc. They were to then post their work on the blog. Not only were the histories interesting, but I liked the fact that the students incorporated local history into a writing project.
ISTE Standards
As a teacher, I would focus on meeting the following 2 standards:
2 a. Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
I believe the "What's In A Name" blog meets this standard.
3 c. Communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats.

Good choice of standards for this activity! It would meet a host of language art and social studies standards too! This would be a good activity to do with Wikipedi. Students could start their own wiki entry about their school or contribute to one that has already been started!
