k12

I located a blog from a teacher in Wisconsin; her blog is designated towards her fourth grade classroom. On her blog she shows the calendar, homework assignments, upcoming assignments, upcoming club meetings, activities. On her blog she offers a virtual tour of the Capitol of Wisconsin, she allows information to be easily accessible to the children. She provides information on her blog that are current discussions in the classroom.

There is a detailed newsletter for the parents to review, as well as the students. On her blog she offers different learning websites to allow the students to enhance their study skills. There are many pictures on the blog showing the classroom, and activities that take place in the classroom. My favorite though was many postings by her students summarizing different people in history and their input on these individuals. It is neat to see the simplicity through the eyes of a child.

The other blog I found was from a teacher Mrs. C in Montana. Her blog is designed for her 5th grade class. This blog is very organized it provides students and parents with what is going on in the classroom. She offers educational games for the students to play. On this blog she offers many blogs from her student’s by doing this, I believe this allows the students to feel some sense of ownership in their classroom and their education.
