Week 2: Blogs - Some Examples

Hello, fellow Connecticut's 23 Things Students,

Here are a few of the examples of using blogs that I have discovered:

**I was first introduced to some of the ways blogs can be used in libraries via the Farmington Library blogs. Personally, I love the way they have used their blogs to build community and promote library services. There are links to their blogs at the bottom of their web page:

**At an elementary school in Glastonbury, children are blogging with students from another elementary school as they read a book together. They are using the ePals SchoolBlog weblog hosting site:

**At the same school a little over a year ago, a teacher took a short sabbatical to help with a special research study. She used a blog to keep in touch with the students at the school where she taught. Children could ask her questions about her experience and she responded to them via the blog. If I can locate her blog, I'll post the link here as well.
