Blogs and Educators

As schools rush to keep up with the ever changing growth in technology, blogs are popping up everywhere. Blogs and wikis can be simple ways for educators to communicate daily information among campus staff members, within districts, and especially between schools and families. Blogs can be used to relay weekly due dates for students, post tutorial information, links to content information, and lecture notes, update test reviews, and share campus calendar dates and events. For faculty, blogs could be used to post calendar events, conduct quick surveys, complete campus wide book studies, publish literature reviews, share ideas and support team members struggling with specific issues. Blogs create virtual ways to connect, share, and grow together.
