Blogs in Classrooms



A September 2006 article , in the Boston Globe discusses how teachers in the Boston, MA area use blogs in their classrooms. A third grade teacher from Needham was interviewed about how and why she uses blogs. She posts on her blog to keep parents informed about what is going on in her class. Parents, in turn, comment on the posts and are able to communicate with the teacher and other parents. A teacher/author estimates that tens of thousands of teachers have started blogging recently. The article goes on to discuss how teachers blog outside of the classroom as well and how it is suck a useful tool for them.
