Blog in the Classroom #1At South Valley Junior High in Liberty, Missouri a teacher named Mr. Langhorst is using blogs for his 8th grade History class. His blog contains ideas, pictures, videos, news items, and general thoughts about the topics related to his lessons. He updates it regularly to better help his students in his class and to simply get them thinking. Also in his blog he has links to “podcast” and “studycast”. These are both audio programs used to show videos and quiz his students on the material he is teaching. Everything he covers he uploads on the internet for not only his students to access but also their parents. Also he adds some fun into the blog by adding pictures and videos of the class itself.
After looking at this blog I am simply amazed. He has put so much time and effort in it and it really shows. This is a phenomenal way for the students to have further resources besides his lectures and the book. Not only is he going over the required material but also he is posting general news information to help keep them updated in their current events. He seems to make things very interesting and easy to access. I think that this is a great way to get students using technology and to also help them further their knowledge of the subject material.

Blog in the Classroom #3
At Hooper Elementary in West Hooper, Utah every teacher is using a blog to reach out to students, faculty and parents. This allows them to distribute information quickly and accurately. By making a blog, employees of Hooper elementary can dispense information to students and parents online, which allows them to access it during their free time and in the comfort of their own homes. Using text, pictures, and attachments the blog makes for an easy log of daily events, upcoming happenings and even can assist sick students catch up to work they may have missed.
Every teacher at this school is required to use a blog and I think that is fantastic. This makes things so much easier for everyone. The students have somewhere to go if they need help and the parents as well. I believe that this helps everyone to communicate smother and it also gets the students using technology. This is a great asset to a classroom and also a great way further the education of the students.
