Our school system does encourage using blogs, and I do use this with my Reading class. Blogs are another way to communicate with parents and students. Blogs are accessed through our school's web page. Teaches post information such as homework assignments, class work, announcements, current events, ect. If a student missed a day of school or just forgets what their assignment was, then they can find out by checking the blog. And any student or parent that has access to a computer with internet can visit this site to obtain the given information. Unfortunately not everyone has a computer with internet access. As for wikis, I am not sure what this is either. I would like to know. Sherry

I was wondering if any of you have used these devices in your classroom. If so, how do you use them and what impact do you think they have had on your students? Are these useful tools for the classroom? I would love to hear from someone who is currently using these.
