Blog Use

Blogs can be used in many different ways by teachers. One way a 7th grade math teacher used his/her blog was to put math problems on the website. This would enable students to view problems and work on them from home. This could also be used for the parents to help their children if the children are having problems in math. The parents could go over the problems at home. A 3rd grade teacher used the blogs to tell about daily activities in the classroom. The teacher also included some of the students' work on her website. This could be useful for parents to view. Another blog was one where the students submitted their opinions. The students told what they did at school that day. They also told what they enjoyed and did not enjoy. The students could read each others comments. This would also be useful for the teacher to see how the students view what is taking place. The teachers could use this to spark the children's interest more by seeing their likes and dislikes. All of these blogs can be very useful to the teachers, parents, and students in some way.
