I was looking around the web and I found some teaching blogs that I think are just great.
Third Graders, Dreaming Big is used as a public resource and communication with the students and their families. This blog helps keep them updated not only on what students are learning in the classroom, but provides reminders for homework and upcoming events and trips. This blog allows the teacher to highlight the accomplishments of the students as well and keep track of the different units as the year goes by. She uses pictures, photographs, and videos to make her blog more appealing and interesting for the readers.
I also really enjoyed looking through this blog: http://blogs.yis.ac.jp/cowdyt/ipads/.
The author uses technology in the kindergarten classroom, and the lessons seem to be engaging and interesting to the students. There are videos of the students, student work, and Kidblog, which allows the students to safely blog on their own, which not only exposes them to technology, but also encourages them to write and communicate with one another. This teacher has some fantastic ideas about using technology in the classroom to enhance the learning of the students.
When I have my own classroom, I would love to keep a blog like this and use some of these lesson ideas to maintain communication with families and engage students in a variety of technology resources.
