I found this website http://www.onlinedegrees.org/the-top-20-teacher-blogs/ useful (Top 20 Teacher Blog) as I searched for ideas for my own blog. The #1 blog was "Cool Cat Teacher:" http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/ Elements here that jump out to me include the creative catchy blog name itself, the format of the homepage with multiple tabs at the top; along the side one can find recent comments, links to the teacher's facebook & Twitter accounts, photo of the teacher with an introduction, and information organized by category. I'm sure we will all learn how to become more expert in creating these blog elements as we progress through our course
Other websites I found that offer examples of effective teacher blogging include "Edublog Awards" http://edublogawards.com/2010awards/best-teacher-edublog-2010/ and another one more focused on my targeted endorsement (social studies) http://teacherportal.com/edubloggers/history-and-social-studies
