Classroom Bloggers in the USA

First of all I have noted that schools in the US might not be quite as up on the new technologies as they are in other places across the world. The good blogs I did find were not for individual classes but represented a whole school and then extended to individual classes. 

The Bancroft Blogosphere was created for Bancroft Elementary School in Massachusetts by the Technology Teacher. The school blog has links to other class blogs that were created through the same site. The blog also has posts by teachers and students about upcoming events and current events. The Tech guy makes post detailing his adventures in helping different grade levels set up blogs for themselves. One thing I really like about this blog is the little section that gives kids information about how to be safe online. 

The other interesting blog I was able to locate was the school library blog of John Kennedy Elementary School out of New York State. This blog looks fun for children, because it has links and instructions for creating interesting different kinds of avatars to use on the site. The main library page also has posts by the librarian about things coming up in the library. The blog also has links to other class pages, and other teacher blogs.
