BLOGS ARE VERY USEFUL in numerous ways, and even have cutting edge capability.

• Students know what is happening in class and can check the blog anytime, thereby expanding "class" to all 24 hours of their day

• Students have links to Internet sites and Web 2.0 tools that help them do high-level learning as well as sophisticated projects

• Students can learn from home. Assignments can be reviewed, and homework can be completed 

• Students can share their work with classmates and other students throughout the world.

• Parents can see what is happening in class and can easily contact the teacher

• Teachers have a record of all lesson plans and can use them the next year
