Blog 1 - http://lewiselementary.org/ from the Meriwether Elementary School, Portland, Oregon

I personally find this blog one of the best educator blogs I have seen yet. This is a very intuitive blog used by the entire school. This blog has eleven main sections easily navigated by a tool bar across the top of the page just under the main banner. You can navigate to: About; Calendar; Principal; Notes; Curriculum; Class Notes; Lunch; Music; Partners; PPS; PTA; and Staff. Each link directs you to a blog page that is full of the latest news and information on each subject. To make each page even more useful to teachers, students, administrators, and parents alike, are addition useful links for more information outside the school.

Blog 2 - http://marykreul.teacherhosting.com/blog/ from Richards Elementary School, Whitefish Bay, WI

This is another very well laid out blog that has good “eye-appeal” much like the one I described above. The navigation is different with only four main categories: Recent Posts, Links, Categories, and Archives. The main page is more or less, a ‘current events’ (or a traditional “most recent posts” blog page). The current events, announcements, schedules, and other school related activities are all on the main page. There is a readily available search tool above the categories section, so it is very easy to navigate this page and find what you are looking for quickly.
