[|DogEared Book Blog]
 * Dog Eared Book Blog is like a great place for students to post thoughts and reviews on books that they have read. There are many times a student comes to teachers with a book and asks the famous question, "Is this book any good?" Even if you have read it, they still would rather hear the input from their peers instead of a teacher. This blog allows students search a book and see what other students have said about it. I feel this blog would also serve as a wonderful tool for a book report.

[|Growing With Science Blog]
 * As a science teacher, the Growing with Science Blog caught my attention immediately. This site offers new information, experiments, photos and mysteries for students to solve. The students can search the blog for a specific topic or just see the current week's postings. Teachers can also use this blog to find vocabulary words for a specific unit, resources to find more information on a topic, experiments and images to help bring science to life.
