I reviewed the Kindergarten Tales blog. I really loved it. I liked that the colors were bright and grabbed your attention and that she had posted videos. The rock climbing video was pretty neat. I thought it was cool that the students had a rock climbing wall in their school gym. I think the blog was used to highlight interesting things that were learned by the kindergarteners. I think the audience of the blog is parents and fellow teachers because they can see what the students learned and how to teach the same lessons. I think that the purpose of the blog is to show parents and teachers what the students can learn and how they can learn it. There is even an example of teaching how to write numerals and it says follow along at home so the blog is interactive with students as well. I think the blog is useful in and out of the classroom. The last poting was on October 24, 2008 so it is definately still in use.
I also reviewed the 9-12th grade english blog by Mrs. Huff. I really liked that she had book covers on her blog as a background. I think the target audience of this blog is for students and parents because it tells about assignments completed in class and things that have been graded and will show up on progress reports that are sent home to parents. I think that this is a good way for students and parents to stay on top of assignments in the English class. The purpose of the blog is to inform students and parents of what has been going on in the classroom. I think the blog is mostly useful out of the classroom because it is updated at the end of the day and it was last updated on October 24, 2008 so it is currently in use.

I reveiwed the same blogs (I reviewed and posted my blog before reviewing previous postings). I think they are both good sites. Both are have great ideals and can be a good references for our own blogs when we start teaching. The reason I chose these 2 blogs was for the various information based on students' ages.
I think this one is neat because it incorperates new videos into the blog. The students are able to see new technology at its best. I feel that these are both good sites for students to learn and interact.
Given that the parents and students can log on to this blog, and find new ways to learn, or to help their child succeed is a wonderful trait of this blog!
