In My Classroom

As a teacher of the young elementary grades I think that a class blog will be a great way to introduce the children to technology. While the class can write the blog together, it will also provide excellent ways for the parents to stay up to date in class room activities. An online blog can provide assignment guidelines, helpful hints, links for parents, assignments missed for those absent, newsletters and calendars. Also asking that the students and parents reply to the blog, and topics at least once a month could insure their interaction with the classroom technology.
