The use of blogs in the classroom

This website tells how to use a blog to build a classroom community, allowing students to connect with each other as well as the teachers. This also allows students to keep up with assignments, which gives them no excuse to forget. I feel that this is a useful tool for every classroom and should be utilized more.

This website allows the parents to see what the kids are doing in the classroom. Also, it makes it easier for the parents and teachers to communicate and relay information. This also allows the parents to see their kids grades and progress in the class, as well as their upcoming assignments and their deadlines.
