At the Teacher's Desk is a great page that consists of numerous blogs. For example, the teacher makes a blog about a project to raise awareness to lead-contaminated soil in major U.S. cities. The blog leads to several other schools participating in the event. Blogs such as this can be very helpful because it can cause a movement between many schools. This movement would not have been possible without blogging.
Another great thing about the blog is that they gave you many links in each one. The very first blog talks about one of William Kist's book, The Socially Networked Classroom. They give you a link to find other William Kist books and they also give you a link to where you can buy the book they are talking about.
They also used the blog to discuss and show a Skype session between an ESOL class and a Spanish class went, and improvements they could make the next time they Skype each other. In this case, blogging was beneficial because they could see their Skype session and learn ways to improve it. They could also post the session for all the classes to see.
At the Teacher's Desk was an extremely well put-together blog. It had everything you could want in a professional blog. Lins, pictures, and well-informed blogs. It is obvious by this blog, that great interaction comes with it.
