Blogging about blogging

I think that blogging is a great way for teachers to interact with their students. A teacher can add articles or assignments for students to read and comment about. Also, if the class goes on field trips or does a fun activity they can put proof on the blog of what they did. I also think that blogging is a good idea for parents to know what their students are doing in class. If a teacher puts assignments, activities, and pictures of the class on the blog parents can be updated. I feel that it is important for a teacher to set the blog to private and only have class members, parents, and faculty be able to access it. Over all... blogging is a good thing as well as technology.
