Blogs in the Classroom

At Albany High School in Albany, NY they have a blog system for the students. Different students are allowed to write for it so that the general public can learn about the school and what all is going on. It is a great insight into the students and how they feel about their school. I really like how they are using the blog as a way for people to be honest about what they are doing and just openly is on the internet for all the world to see

At educational.blogs.com many different schools and classrooms use blogging as a way to inform their students what they have going on and what is due. I really like the way this website is sort of a hub for many different schools to check in. You could easily see what everyone else is doing and get new ideas for your particular high school. It seems like its a great way to communicate to each other, whether you're a teacher or student, if things work or if you like different teaching styles and techniques.
