The discussion about blocking sites stirred up a lot of passions in people. While I can see the logic to blocking sites for students, I have to come down on the side of giving teachers the power to unblock sites for educational purposes. Teachers are professionals and districts should trust their judgment as to what is appropriate. And if teachers show poor judgment, then there are disciplinary procedures in place just like for any other inappropriate activity.
Jing is another tool I like, particularly when combined with Google Earth or other application. Then there's Edmodo. I wonder which would be better for students to exchange information and comment on media: Blogger or Edmodo?
