Blog Post 1 11/12th grade math
I first reviewed the last blog on the list. It was for an 11/12th grade math class. Having a tool like this for an advanced math class would be a wonderful help. Not only did it encourage free commenting and dialogue, which is important for students, but it also has many educational factors. One thing that stuck out to me was that you could view this blog is many different languages. So, for those students who may speak another language at home, could in turn do his/her work in a way to be the most successful. It also allowed for the students to evaluate the teacher and post comments about how much the enjoyed or disliked the class.

I think it is great that the blog is in different languages. Unfortunately, it seems that the blog is no longer used. I wonder if the teacher created a new blog site for 2007 & 2008.
Hey, Ryan. Do you see yourself using this "blogging thing" or is it just a shiny new thing of passing interest?
I like that a child does not have to put their heritage on hold for school, and in turn put the blogs in their preferred language. I also like that students can comment on the teacher. Many students are afraid that their opinions may be reflected back in their grades. Therefore, it is nice to have an outlet of ones feelings and still feel safe, in a sense.
great idea about the languages. I think that people who speak English as their main or only language often forget how complicated it is to try to learn English so there should be a variety of ways to reach students who speak foreign languages.
