Blogging in the Classroom

Blogging is a great tool to be used in the classroom. As a teacher, I can use blogs to keep parents involved in their child's life. Teachers can post information about what is going on in the classroom onto the class blog. I can post the lesson plans for the week onto the blog so that parents can know which night of the week the students will have the most homework. I think it is a great way for parents to contact me about questions they have about the classroom. Not only can I post information, such as the lunch menu, student birthdays, and information about what is going on in the classroom, but I can get parents feedback. Students can also use blogs to learn how to read, write, type, and use a computer. Students can learn so much about other cultures by being assigned to a student in another country. I think that blogging is a very useful tool that should be used in classrooms worldwide.
