Intel has published a story about an Oregon principal who is using weblogs, along with other technologies, in his elementary school:
Lauer also has set up an internal weblog for communicating with staff. This online forum replaces the email bulletin that staff used to receive each Friday. Because the software includes a comment feature, teachers can use the weblog to engage in dialog and discussion. Instead of being a message from the principal, the weblog has the potential to spark dialog and build community. "Technology flattens an organization," Lauer says. "It makes information transparent and allows people to share knowledge."
The school's public website, also powered by weblog software (MovableType) is at http://lewiselementary.org/. This might be one of the better school websites I've seen.
