Here's my second example...Mrs. Caldwell's English class in Mountain Brook, AL. She uses the blog to communicate with her class about their readings. From what I could see she requires her students to respond and talk about the readings by commenting. She is using the blog to get her students to really look into readings. Take a look Click Me. The picture she had listed under Macbeth...

Blogs in Schools


I found a few examples of blogs being used in classrooms. I'm going to talk about two of those examples. The first example I found was for Mrs. Smits' 2nd grade class at Hudsonville Elementary, MI. She uses the blog to communicate with her community and the parents. She describes their daily events and post pictures. It was a great use of blog in my opinion.

Reflection

I have liked blogging up to now. I think it could be useful in a classroom setting. It would be a good way for classes at different schools to communicate about what they are learning. It would be very useful in a classroom that has computers, if not it might be difficult due to not all students having a computer at home. It would also be a good way for the teacher to communicate with the students. I really think most kids would like to use this in the classroom. I'm pretty sure alot of kids are already familiar with the process. It seems to be the thing to do right now. So, yes I think it could prove very useful in the classroom.
