It’s an interesting project that makes the education process more fun and effective, epically for younger student in theses days where the Internet has a dominant role in people’s life. I believe blogging is a great and very effective way of communication between teachers and students. And as Brenda Sherry states in her article it is very easy to use unlike traditional websites. Blogs are easy to create, flexible in design, and very convenient for student to access and use.
I think it takes the teacher and students beyond the traditional boundaries of education and encourages the students and give them the opportunity to discuss topics and share their opinions and thoughts outside the classroom. However, it is very safe where the teacher can control and manage the blog. I like the idea where the parents can participate and be involved in their children’s education in such a creative way.
It is wonderful the way blogs connect students from different cultures and gives them the opportunity to exchange thoughts and culture.
As a teacher this is defiantly something I will consider in my classroom.
Glad you enjoyed the article. This is indeed a nice way to make a home-school connection.
