Blogging Info for Parents
A blog, or weblog, is an online diary where an individual or group posts journal entries. The latest post is always shown first. Readers can type comments on each entry, and there are often links to other places on the world wide web that the blog administrator thinks may be of interest to readers.
I like how this video explains blogs:
Our blog has glimpses into everyday classroom happenings, student work, and loads of photos. It is a way we communicate with people outside school, show off work, and practice utilizing technology skills.

0 Names will not be added to photos of students.
