Examples of Blogging in the classrooms


The first blog I found was made by a second grade teacher in a New York City Public School. The main purpose of the blog was to communicate with parents and to let them know about special projects the students are doing. She puts pictures up of the students doing activities. I think this a a great resource for the parents, not only do they know what's going on, but they can help their children prepare for upcoming projects. It helps parents that may never be able to come to the class to visit feel like they have on certain days. It was pretty basic. Here is a link to the blog: Mrs. Phillip's Second Grade Blog

The second blog was made by a third grade teacher in a Birmingham School. This blog had a lot more information on it and was updated almost every day. Everyday the teacher would post the homework the was due soon. She also posted information and pictures about special projects the class was doing. On the side there were a ton of links to various resources. She posted a curriculum overview and links to the school's main website. It was a little more in depth than the first blog, but I think each blog fulfilled their purpose. Here is a link to this blog: Mrs. Harvath's Class Blog
