For me to incorporate blogging within my classroom I would definately have to use it with the older grade levels unless I turned it into a parent/student type assignment. I can maybe see while we're discussing a certain genre of music beginning a blog that not only incorporates student thoughts but also thoughts of our parents so that we can compare them. Students and parents would both have to listen to the same sound bank of music that maybe they could do through a webquest together and then reply to the blog separately.
Since I am new to the blogging world the concerns are still new to discover, but one that I can think of would be the filtering of words. I would hope that students would choose wisely with their words before posting. I can only imagine some of the goofiness or other things that might come out if they were to not take it seriously.

Getting parents involved with students would be interesting. They would probably love learning about blogs too, if the idea is new to them.
