Using a blog in the classroom would be great with Reading students. We could have more in depth discussions about everything from setting and plot to character evaluations. I could see even students from other schools debating events and reasoning of a novel with one another. Each giving their own perspectives.
I also could see a blog being an asset when covering a poem unit or even working on a poem written by a group or a story being written.

I really liked your idea of collaboration with another school or schools. Students from different campuses, districts, states or countries all could share their differing opinions and ideas on the same topic.
I have seen the classroom blog set up in several MISD English classrooms and they really work! Students that otherwise might not be willing to share outloud in class come alive and share their voice on the blog, it is an awesome tool for the classroom!

Great ideas for using the blog at school. Middle school students would really love blogging, especially with students at other schools.
