I viewed Mrs. Blakely and her Kindergarten class's blog. The use of blogging in the manner in which this teacher utilized it is brilliant. Mrs Blakely used teacher tube and blogging to document trips, activities, and class assignments that were accomplished. Each blog consists of a synopsis of what the class learned and did that day and a video via teacher tube capturing significant outings and moments throughout that day. This blog page can be beneficial for anyone surrounding the well being of a any student within the class's education. Everyone from the principal, to fellow teachers, to fellow students, to the parents can access this blog and instantly become updated on the happenings inside Mrs. Blakely's classroom. Additionally, features including blogs the class enjoys, a mini meet and greet of the teacher with contact information and a photo, and a calender of upcoming events are also enclosed for viewers.
As of two days ago this blog is still being updated as well as viewed by others, and I am guessing the blog will continue to be used until the end of the school year. I am so glad that i viewed this blog because it is a wonderful method of including parents and other education professionals into the everyday situations and lesson plans the students participate in. I would definitely use this concept of blogging into my own classroom. It is a innovative, modern, and easy way to document and interact with those interested in the student's academic development.

Angel,
after looking at the blog you were talking about (you made it sound so wonderful) I took a look as well! It was a wonderful blog, and I am sure this teacher utilizes it to the fullest in her classroom!
I agree that it is a great blog—and yes she is still posting and updating. It is a great way for the teacher to communicate with the parents and let them know what the students are learning and doing.
I think that this blog is awesome, I would love to be a student and beable to watch videos of what my class did on the computer! Plus if i was a parent I think that would really enjoy watching what my child had accomplished in school. Parents work and they can't always be their so I think it's a great way to keep them connected.
