Blog Use

I feel that blogging is a great way to communicate and keep information flowing outside of the classroom.  My plans on using this blog for the classroom will be to keep parents in the loop and for them to have an insight as to what we are going to do or what we have done.  Each week a student will be given the job of "blogger".  It will be up to them to decide what they want to add to our classroom blog.  I will have the students write their blog in their writing journal and then have another student edit it.  Before blogging, I will check it to see that what they are writing is correct and appropriate to be added.  This will help to give the students some ownership of the blog as well.
