Post 4 Blogs and the Classroom

As I searched for examples of teachers using blogs in the United States, I stumbles upon many blogs from other countries but found difficulty in finding ones from the U.S. Finally I found a whole school that used blogs. Every grade, every teacher, and even other faculty members had their own blogs.
One of the first blogs I looked at the tacher just guided and updated what the children were doing in class. It containted other links to "help" pages. Pages where students could go to get help with any subject they needed. She also put a calander and marked important school events.
Another page I looked at divided all subjects they were studing and had the next days assignments as well as the homework they were responsible for that night. The page also included links for parent tips and a newsletter.
Personally, I would like to use this in my class. I think it is an excellent way to keep parents involved and it gives children more oppurtunities for help and gives them a way to check themselves and stay on track.
