Help Wanted

I received an email from my district today which made me realize it's time to start preparing the teachers in my building for SOL reviews. In the state of Virginia, the SOL's or Standards of Learning are the state-mandated tests that are given every May. This email talked about a session for ITRT's and how we can start preparing teachers with extra resources. I think it's a great idea and wondered what I could contribute to the group. Being a second year ITRT, I didn't really realize what I needed to prepare last year, therefore I don't have many resources that I created myself.

While thinking this over, I wondered how blogs could be used as an SOL review resource. Are they even good for this sort of thing? I suppose teachers could put websites that include study guides on their blogs, but could the process of writing on their own blog help students? What about a wiki? What ideas do you have?
