Blogs Used in International Classrooms


In Needham, Australia, teachers are turning blogs into bulletin boards. Teachers are making information available to parents. Teachers reveal glimpses into their own lives as well as the lives of the students. It gives parents a glimpse into the classroom through the good times and the not so good times. Parents can view blogs at any time and post comments for the teachers. This is also a great way for the teachers to keep in touch with parents. A teacher can sit at their own home or their classroom and within five minutes type and post a blog. The more parents know the more they understand.
