I entered phase 2 of my classroom blog yesterday.  I found a great video on Teacher tube in which a class of 6 and 7 year olds from New Zealand describe how they use their blog.  Yesterday, I showed my class this video and each child came to the computer and dictated his/her sentence about something learned in our latest unit.  They thought it was very cool that anyone who has internet could see our pictures, videos and writing.  I will continue to integrate this into our weekly goals to share learning, have the children do more of the hands on work.
