A blog list is a list of your favourite blogs that would appear along the side panel of your blog. This blog's blog list is called "Blogging to Learn in the TDSB!" and shows snippets of a few TDSB classroom blogs.
This would be helpful if you were having your students follow certain blogs, and then having them post their thoughts about what they read on your class blog! This is a fantastic way to incorporate non-fiction writing into your program!

I miss using blogger.
Now we have streams and integrated activity or announcements.
Times change.

I think it would help foster learning helping students focus on the blog list you've compiled. There are so many blogs out there and that may be overwhelming initially. Once they've got a feel for what they're interested in, they can compile their own lists!
The blog list on the teacher's blog would help broaden the horizons of the students without ever having to leave the classroom. In creating a library blog, I would try to include as many different blogs as would be appropriate for intermediate students. Those might include blogs or websites on book reviews, internet safety, or current events. The only downside: monitoring, and searching for new and appropriate sites is a full-time job in itself!
