Blogging: It's Elementary! A webquest to help students understand blogging, with useful activities to help them become safe and responsible bloggers. You probably wouldn't use this directly with the students, but it is definitely useful for ideas on things you should be covering when teaching them about blogging.

Blogging is Elementary This post gives a great overview of things to consider when teaching students about blogging. This is where the Blogging: It's elementary! link came from, but it was a broken link in the article :( - abit of detective work was needed, but as you can see it was found!

School Tools This is a very useful blog to help teachers using BlogED
