Blogging For Education



One of the neatest things out there for teachers and students is blogging. Blogging allows teachers and students to share information like never before. Almost in the blink of an eye, knowledge is shared from school to school, town to town, and in a lot of cases, country to country.


One site that I found interesting was http://elementaryteacherblog.blogspot.com/. Following this elementary teacher and her students activities are interesting to say the least. Just check out the blog called What, Vagina? Another one that I enjoyed was the one called What Are The Rules? It was funny and interesting what the children thought about the rules.

Another blog I found which was good was one for Trantwood Elementary. Here's the link: http://trantwoodelem.learnerblogs.org/. This blog is very well done and really shows an in depth view of an elementary school's weekly activities. While the first blog I wrote about was from one teachers perspective this one has postings from all grade levels in the school and from different classes. One of the more interesting links was to a site where children were leaving voice messages to President Obama. Check it out:
