Has anyone created a blog for their classes? Our school is starting a mentoring program and blogging may become a big part of it.

Every teacher in my district is required to have a class blog. Some of them are very basic with weekly updates on curriculum and classroom news. Other teachers have really utilized their blog and made them very interactive with links to class notes, handouts, video clips that were shown in class and even web discussion boards for students to use. Even if teachers do the minimum updates it is nice for parents to be able to look each week and see what is going on in class.
