Blogs

My favorite things teachers are using blogs for:

1.  Teachers attach links to keep students aware of current events.
2.  Teachers post homework.
3.  Teachers keep students engaged in learning while they are at home.
4. Teachers include a list of the curriculum so parents can know when/what their child is learning

I would use blogs to:

1.  Remind parents and students of quizzes and test that were coming up.

2.  Respond to questions about the homework each night.

I could know if my blog is effective by monitoring how many students were utilizing my blog.  I could also know if my blog is effective if it was reflective in my student's grades.
