Class Blogs

I also hope to use blogs in my classroom.  I already use our class website on a regular basis to keep students up to date.  I also link assignments, power point presentations, and primary sources to my class website to make class time more efficient and effective.  I think by setting up class blog,  I could create an even more efficient and effective classroom environment.  I think my students would appreciate and enjoy the class blog.  I think blogs could be a great communication tool for parents also.  I think parents would enjoy seeing what is going on the classroom.  A class blog would also be a great tool to keep parents up to date on assignments and etc.  Once students reach high school, it  seems a lot of communication home is lost, so by utilizing blogs, parents would be able to stay in the loop.
