Blogs+for+the+Classroom

=Why Blog? =

Blogging in education is an up and coming resource for teachers of all grade levels. A blog is an online database that can be maintained by the teacher of a classroom. The blog can be used as an online diary among students where students can log in to share their thoughts and opinions on a topic provided by the teacher. In addition to posting their own opinions, students as well as teachers can comment and reflect upon classmates posts and keep the discussion flowing even outside the classroom.

In addition to using a blog among your students, a blog can be a great classroom resource for parents. By setting up an interactive community between you and parents of your classroom, you can quickly and easily answer any questions, post important announcements, and provide a network for connecting parents.
