I reviewed 9th-12th Grades English--Ms. Huff, http://class.huffenglish.com/
This is a wonder organized blog. The blog is for students, but parents can visit the blog to find out about lesson plans, test dates, and assignment due dates. The purpose of this blog is to help students review class lessons, give students a calendar/syllabus, and review lessons if absent. It is a great way for Ms. Huff’s students to keep up with the work and the lessons. This blog is up-to-date and is currently being used by Ms. Huff and her class. This is a wonderful tool to help students who are disorganized or forgetful. I would like to incorporate some of the ideals of this blog into my own teaching blog. Ms. Huff spends a lot of time updating the information! This blog is so in the classroom; no more excuses or arguments from students about I did not know or I thought it was due next week, etc. The high school students are responsible for the information on the blog just like we are responsible for the information on WebCt.

I believe this blog is great because it allows the students to have time to make up work that it missed. It also shows the students what they missed and when the deadline is for it to be turned in. I think this would be great for student of all ages.
I find it really refreshing (no pun intended) that Mrs. Huff updates this blog frequently. Seeing your teacher write about various characters in a book (or movie) is a great way to learn. Very cool.
I love her technology tips, especially the one about using Firefox over IE's browser. I've been trying to get my parents to switch for years now.
The best part of this blog is that it allows to students to make up late work! That is just AWESOME!
I liked this blog too, because it allowed the parents to be involved, as well as thier children. I think it makes it easier for parents to make sure their child stays on track, plus being really fun for the kids.
I agree that this is helpful for students who are disorganized or forgetful. In high school I always forgot to write important stuff in my agenda so a blog would be very helpful for someone like me.
