Blogs for American School Teachers/Students

One website whose main purpose is to keep connection between students and teachers through blogs is the blog.wired. site. WIRED . This site is used by many schools across the country (especially Technical schools.) The purpose of this particular website is to keep the students and teachers in contact with each other and to look up information on what you happen to be studying. Now since this is more of a technical website (with information about cars, computers, etc.) One thing about this website I found interesting are all the blogs showing how to improve one's cars, electrical systems, and computers. So you really don't even have to be a student at a Technical school to get something out of this website. It is no surprise that schools like Diman Regional Vocational Technical high School give input on these certain subjects. To see this schools website and view their own blogs click here: DIMAN

After viewing a technical school's blogs and how they operate, I thought it would be nice to view a public schools blog and see how they operate in the public school setting. One website that uses blogs for teachers is the Scholastic Community Message Boards website (To view click here.) Scholastic Message Boards This website is basically for the younger students and includes blogs from kindergarten and 1st grade teachers. One teacher's blog that impressed me was the kindergarten teacher Mr. Jeremy Brunaccioni (Jeremy's profile) In his blog he puts in his thoughts on teaching as well as pictures of what students in his class have drawn. This is very important for kids to have their pictures up because it gives them a optimistic boost of confidence for their art. Just another example of why blogs are very good for the development of all ages. (to see some drawings click here) PIX
