A professional blog within the curriculum could be essential to involving parents in the day-to-day experiences and expectations of their children, and can also be beneficial to students as well. Daily blogging on assignments or upcoming projects would keep parents in the loop as to what is due or upcoming for their child, and the child can also use blogging as a reminder of important project dates, or as a way to double check what homework is due the next day.
More experienced blogging may allow for "tagging" of a student, so that if an assignment or project is being mentioned that pertains to them, they may receive an immediate alert on the information instead of having to wait until the next school day.
Blogging would be greatly beneficial to any classroom, K through grade 12 and beyond, whether aimed at parents, students, or both. By the time many of us graduate and enter the education system, blogging may be an expected part of our work day. It certainly seems an excellent way to remain in contact with students and parents, and a great way for parents to remain in touch with the educators.
