As I read the article on blogging in Teddy Bears go blogging, I struggle with my own 2nd graders being able to use this as a tool without the keyboarding issues slowing them down. I do something like that only with pen pals in Alabama. We learn about the south and ask them questions, make them gifts, and eventually would like to do a live link with them. The kids get so frustrated with the mail being so slow and having to wait so long to get a response to their letters. Blogging may be the answer if the keyboarding issue can be addressed.

You might also think about if you had a class blog to share with your pen pals. Maybe you could type entries as your second graders dictate the message to you - then maybe choral read it together before you post. You can post pictures etc. to your blog, so there is a lot of possibilities. Another idea might be to partner your second graders with 4, 5 or 6 grade students - have them type the messages. Good practice for them too!
