Blogging Educators

Blogs have opened many doors for communicating in the business and social worlds, and I believe that they are the new key to achieving active communication in the educational system. Blogs can connect teachers, parents, and students in many positive ways. Teachers can collaborate together with online discussions. Vertical teaming questions and answers could be answered in a timely fashion especially considering that we have very little time for conversation during the school day. Colleagues can discuss book studies through blogs and minor announcements that do not warrant a faculty meeting being called. Teachers and parents can blog with each other regarding classroom happenings and homework. Students can even get in on the action. Blogs can be beneficial to everyone considering that they take advantage of them and become active participants. With the use of blogs, we may in fact achieve our goal of parent involvement on our campuses.
