I plan on using wikkis and blogs with my 9th grade class next year.  All my students will be required to write a weekly blog about computer class.  this will be a great way to communicate with my students outside of the classroom. I do not see them everyday and if they can ask questions at there convience i can accomplish more in my classroom.  I plan on creating lesson plans over the summer so i will be able to start at the beginning of the school year.
I am also willing to work with other teachers on blogging and wikkis.  The way my schedule is set up this shouldn’t be a problem with the 6th grade.  I also plan to talk to the 6th grade teachers about creating blogs for the 6th grade.  I can devote time to working on blogs in my class, this will hopefully free up the computer lab so other assignments can be accomplished.
