They provide an online archive of our learning process. I like Richardson' suggestion that blogs can become an e-portfolio of our learning!<BR/><BR/>RondaRondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01698101129202811461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380993086692725221.post-60154476048523276342008-04-09T19:13:00.000-07:002008-04-09T19:13:00.000-07:00Another positive for blogging is that it's another...Another positive for blogging is that it's another avenue to communicate with absent parents. For example, I have a student whose mother lives in another town. The mom was asking if I had a class newsletter that I could send to her. That started me thinking, "Aha. I can do one better than that." so I started a class blog. It's pretty simple, but does provide regular communication between school and home - no matter where "home" is or how many homes there are.Linda Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09249056610623998197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380993086692725221.post-51848782052654086742008-04-08T20:15:00.000-07:002008-04-08T20:15:00.000-07:00Hi Jean: I agree blogs are a great opportunity for...Hi Jean: I agree blogs are a great opportunity for reflection. It really brings out the personality of the blogger. I like the idea of the reluctant student. It creates a more effective way for him/her to collaborate in a group.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>ValVal Martineauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03951314982340724402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380993086692725221.post-57837769252117051722008-04-08T18:51:00.000-07:002008-04-08T18:51:00.000-07:00Hi Jean, I wasn't aware of how blogs changed after...Hi Jean, I wasn't aware of how blogs changed after 9/11. Our school trustee started a blog when campaigning and now updates it regularly. It provides an interesting perspective for stakeholders including teachers, parents and the community at large.
