The first blog is Edublogger. It can be found at: http://theedublogger.com/. This blog looks really interesting to me because it seems to touch on one of my expectations of this class. The blog seems to offer ways to set up and manage blogs for students to use.
I'm also going to look at a blog devoted to reviewing adolescent literature. One of the courses I teach is eighth-grade English. I'm constantly trying to stay a bit ahead of the kids in what's going to be the "next big thing." This site looks as though it will help! http://adlitreviews.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Another course that I teach is American history to tenth-grade students. I found a blog that's written by an American history teacher. He offers up a lot of useful "tricks of the trade." What drew me in to this blog was how creative some of his ideas were. For example, he shows Civil War battle highlights in just a few slides; he also identified a website where kids can make digital cartoons to help them remember key facts. http://ushistoryeducatorblog.blogspot.com/
