An August 2004 article , from the New York Times discusses the convenience of blogs in the classroom. "With blogs, class doesn't have to end when the bell rings," said a blogger from Hunterdon Central Regional High School in Flemington, NJ. A second grade teacher from Frederick County, MD talks about her (second grade) students use blogs instead of journals because blogs allow the students to interact with each other, and they more timid students "come alive online." The article also discusses how blogs are much easier for students and teachers to maintain than web sites. Finally, as in my previous post, the article talks about how convenient it is for parents to get involved through the use of blogs.
