Week 5 Assignment


I was able to find an enormous amount of websites that were designed for teachers to maintain blogs that were designated for keeping their students and parents aware of events taking place within the classroom.


The first site I came upon was http://scarel.edublogs.org/. This was a website for Mrs. Carel's 4th grade TEC class in Willars, Missouri. Mrs. Carel had a slideshow of her students, a morning message link, a calendar, and an agenda for everyone to view. Mrs. Carel explains that the site is bulit to inform students and teachers and to have a place to showcase her students work.


The next site I discovered was http://blogs.oaisd.org/337. This was a site set up for Mrs. Smits' 4th grade class in Michigan. Mrs. Smit shares lots of information about her class experiments, photos, and even produces a weekly newsletter. She has a place where the students can also add their own submissions. She updates this blog daily making it a very effective communication tool.
