When searching the internet for examples of schools who required their children to blog the first interesting site I came to was Mr. C's Class Blog. They are a fifth grade class from Noel Elementary School. The teacher uses the same blogger as we do for class. He puts up important information, such as vocabulary words and specific blogging assignments. He also has great pictures from different activites in class (probably for parents more than anything). He even adds a little bit about himself and what he did over the weekend. Then, of course, he has some "imortants links", like links to the school, diferent class links, and links to each one of the children's blogs. The picture I posted is one from his main website.
The next class I happen to find, interestingly enough, is another fifth grade class taught by Mr. Monson. This is for the class Nettleton Science, Technology, and Reading Magnet School. He does not use the same blogger we do, he uses blogmeister, however, the format is still easy to follow and navagate. The most noticable detail would be the class schedule, which is very detailed and I am sure that parents enjoy. He has posted some information about himself and how he got his start. There are classroom assignments listed and links to all of the student entries. There is also a long list of links that are related to either the school or the assignments or to the events going on. The picture I have is of Mr. Monson that he has posted in his "About Me" section.
