Well, I did find through my surfing of the web that many schools and teachers use blogs, pretty cool, learn something new everyday. I am sure that more and more schools and teachers will be using blogs in the near future. Blogs for communication to parents would be a great idea.
Anyways, I found this elementary school called Trantwood Elementary and they had a blog which can be found at Trantwood. On Jan. 22nd, Mrs. Holmans 2nd grade class posted their Wild Water Haiku blog with a link to actually hear the students read their haiku about Wild Weather. Haiku's. On Trantwoods blog spot you can add a comment but the comment must be approved first and then will be posted within 24-48 hours. 5th grade also posted a blog calle "Dear President Elect Barack Obama" on Jan. 9th, 2009. There is a list of the different blog entries by the different grades.
Harrison Elementary school was another school that I found that currently uses blogs. Harrison Elem. School is located in Warsaw, Indiana. Their school blog consists of info such as classroom web pages where teachers can post info, provide descriptions of various projects, and share photographs of their activities. Teachers can also create links to important websites and even maintain a classroom blog separate from the school blog. Harrison
You are so right blogging would be an excellent way to communicate with parents.
ReplyDeleteI know that if my parents had been able to be contacted through blogs when I was younger I would have been in big trouble. And probably passed more.
