Thing #3

There are many ways blogs can be used in the classroom.  I actually never thought about using them in that way.  Using a blog to keep in touch with parents is a very good way to use it.  It beats playing phone tag.  I really like the idea on edublog about using it as a way to communicate with another class somewhere else in the world.  This would allow students to see how other cultures may be the same or different in many aspects.  Another idea I really liked was making an online book club.  It could encourage discussion about books and get students more excited about reading different types of literature.
