Blogs In The Classroom

http://classblogmeister.com/index.php

The link above is a real example of a teacher incorporating blogs in the classroom. Both teachers have a blog along with the students! The main idea that the teachers were trying to get out of this is to have another means of communication and also to see student feedback. Another reason that these teachers blog is to see "what they are learning and how they are learning."

I find this very beneficial because not all children feel cofortable speaking out in class with questions and/or concerns so this allows them to do so in an agreeable fashion. Secondly, I like the idea of associating blogs in the classroom because this lets parents really see what is going on. This ensures parents how their child is doing at school and what upcoming evens are. Lastly, I think that blogs can really improve student/ teacher relationships in an appropriate manner because it allows them both to feel comfortable discussing school realted topics!
