Well, obviously this is a blog, but what does that mean? Wikipedia defines a blog as:
A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Blogs can be used for many different purposes. There is one blog in particular I found interesting which was used by a teacher to keep his students and parents aware of important things going on in his class. There are 2 different links below because he had to change which blog provider he was using due to issues with the school filters. I think this is a great example of how to use a blog as a communication tool for teachers.
Most of the post are from the teacher Mr. Monson, but there is at least one post from a teacher giving a general praise comment to Mr. Monson. I think this is a very efficient way of using blogs in the educational setting.
On the Blogmeister site there are also links to student work, which is organized by student name and also by the title of the assignment. I don't know whether these were required assignments for all students. It seems as if some students have many examples, while others don't have any.
