Classroom Blogging

I've always thought that blogging was a useful tool. As I said in my first entry, I've been a long time personal blog user. At one time, I posted in my personal blog once a week. Now I'm not quite so regular due to time constraints.

Classroom blogging is useful for students, teachers and parents to share their thoughts and ideas about specific issues in education. For example, I might post a quotation in my blog and have students and parents comment on what they think it means and its value in their own lives. Perhaps I will take an issue from the local newspaper, possibly an editorial and post about it in my blog. I would invite students, parents and other teachers to comment on the issue with their own thoughts and feelings.

What a creative way to use blogging! I commend you on your idea of connecting to students and parents by discussing issues.

I love your ideas! I hope you get a chance to implement them. I'd love to take a look if you do get blogging with your students and parents. I hope you'll send me the link.
