I thought this would be a great way to assist you in learning more about incorporating current events blogging in your classroom.
I started blogging for my economics class at http://mayfieldeconclass.blogspot.com/
during the summer. I found it to be an easy way to get all of the interesting things that I read and wanted to share with my class organized and easy to find in the future.
I got the opportunity to take over the AP Comparative Government class in January. They had been doing a traditional current events project. I did not want to change that aspect of the class, but I wanted to add the use of technology. I set up a few blogs, created a rubric for assessing blog posts, and we started blogging.
So far, so good...
Let me know if I can assist or help you in any way.

Are you willing to share your ideas in a more specific way? I'm really interested in this for my APCG class. If so, my email is lvangeme@aisd.net. I'm specifically interested in your rubric and what you require of the students. This is such a great idea!
