What is a blog?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog
A blog is a online journal that is frequently updated and intended for public consumption.
Blogs can Serve Many Purposes for Teachers
• to communicate information to parents and students. • create a running journal of classroom activities and
lessons throughout the year. • used by students to record and reflect on their own
learning. • Have students be contributing authors on a class blog
and have them write a weekly reflection on their own learning.

Why subscribe to blogs?
by Matthew K. Tabor on May 1, 2007
Using blogs as a communication tool connects us to ideas we otherwise wouldn’t find and to people we’d never meet. It helps us do our jobs better and deliver more value to the people we’re charged with serving.
