Ideas for our class blog

The purpose of our blog is to be a cool tool that we can all use to share our class news. 


A great way to build an awesome blog is to go and look at other people's blogs and borrow their ideas. 
So, it's time for us to look around to get some ideas of what would make a great class blog.


Here are some blog weblinks to start off looking at...

Also, Google has a special search tool to only search for blogs which is handy if you wish to go looking http://blogsearch.google.com/

You are looking for features you like and think would work on our class blog.
It might be a particular widget or gadget, a layout you like, a heading, a font, an idea for a great blog post, a link, a web 2.0 software tool.


Collect your ideas up as a mind-map on 1 Keynote slide. You should have a screenshot and brief text to explain what it is you like about the feature you have found. Please include a web address. For example:

Success Criteria:
