Check out these educational blogs...

The following blogs are good models for students and teachers.
I chose them, because they all:
- have great layouts – are visually interesting
- are engaging and encourage collaboration and comment
- provide access to fun (and educational) games, homework and school activities
- list links to other school blogs from around the world
