First Day Plan.....

Okay I'm on the two day countdown and I'm trying to figure out the best way to smoothly incorporate all of my knew knowledge into my curriculum. I've decided that all my ninth grade students will all create their own personal blogs this year. These sites will serve as personal portfolios, but will also be a place for peer review and discussion.
Here in lies my dilemma....do i have them create blogs prior to teaching any content? Will that set a misleading foundation that technology application will take precedence over the science? This makes me nervous......Any thoughts? Has anyone else done something similar before? I'd love to hear some feedback.
