Blogging can be more than angry youth ranting against the world. As teachers, we can use the blog as a great form of communication with students, parents, and other educators. Many different formats can be utilized when blogging with students and parents. Question/Answer, discussion, and research posting are all good for students. They can do book reviews and comment on each others work. For parents, blogs can be an efficient newsletter. Also, parents can be kept up to date on important homework assignments and projects. Peer-to-peer teacher blogs are superb resources for many ideas. These include discipline, classroom management, lesson plan help, and much more. As a music teacher I plan on implementing blogging for music reviews, practice help, and sometimes for forwarding funny jokes to my students.
