I teach first grade so using a blog with them is not feasible until sometime during the 3rd or 4th quarter, however it would be useful with parents. Our school requires us to keep an updated schoolnotes page through Edgate and this has a blog associated with it. I have just recently started using this feature to communicate with my parents. It is a very simple blog and I am not sure if it allows photos or videos to be published. I think creating a class blog would be a great way to let students write about what they are learning or posting pictures from field trips for parents to see. However, I would have to figure out a way for it to be invitation only or require a password to protect the identity of the students. The parents really like the website to keep up with homework and daily lessons.
