Educational Blogs 1/19/13

I have personal knowledge on this subject.  My students are actually having to use a blog that is on my school website weekly to answer a geographical culture question.  Blogs are a useful tool that can be used to communicate not only with other teachers, but also with the community.  You can post information about meetings, assignments, future and current goals of the district/campus, or even put a poll or question up that can be answered.  Overall they are a great way to not just keep everyone in the loop, but also to research and find out what the community or your colleagues think about a certain subject.
