Details about Educational Blogs

I picked four blogs that I thought condensed the ways students, educators and schools use blogs.

The first blog, Ms. Buckley's 5th Grade Class, is an example of student blogging. Students are allowed to post on a "daily journal" for parents to read about each school day, as well as partake in online math groups, reading discussions, and groups.

The second blog, 2nd Graders, is an example of a teacher-run blog for parents to enjoy quotes, both serious and comical, of her students. This seems like a more fun approach for teachers to connect with parents.

The third blog, Mr. Austin's Class, is an example of a collaborative blog, used both for students and parents. Ranging from a school calendar, online resources, fun facts, and a homework reminder, this page seems to cover all the bases for students and their families at home and in the classroom.

The fourth blog, Meriwether Lewis Elementary School, is an example of a school-wide blog. This seems like it would be an excellent resource for students, parents and teachers too, since the site has school calendars and information, a translation option (good for ELL students and families), and pages for parents to comment or inquire to other parents or the school about questions.

These blogs are posted under Educational Blogs on the right side of this blog. Enjoy!
