Blogs as Teaching Tools

I believe that blogs are an excellent teaching tool. Blogs are an excellent way to keep the parents informed about what is going on in the school and classroom. Blogs can be used to post class newsletters, homework assignments, test dates, important announcements, and also materials that were used in class that day. Blogs would be very helpful and informative for parents. Knowing exactly what their children are supposed to be doing, and also being able to see for themselves materials used by teachers or read for themselves announcements from the teacher would take a lot of stress away from the parents. I also think that by allowing parents insight into the classroom would, most likely, increase the students academic performance.
