  1. Hi Ginger - I agree that blogs are an excellent resource for educators and school leaders for all of the reasons you listed above. I like your idea of publishing a newsletter to a blog - I'd much rather get my information that way.

  3. We get classroom newsletters from my boys teachers but it would be great to get a newsletter with information about the whole school. Good idea.

  4. I love the idea of having students comment on particular lessons or topics of discussion on a blog. You could start the topic, or have a responsible student do it, and then watch the comments come in. It is so interesting to hear what resonates with them... often it's not what we think!
