New Classroom Blogs
It is exciting when you see someone take on board a new idea. My daughter’s class have just started a new classroom blog, which as a parent I think is very exciting. I enjoy reading my daughter’s and her classmates entries. It really does add another dimension to the home school relationship when parents can interact and support their children’s learning in this way.
The classroom blog I am researching is really starting to take off now too. I will be giving the parents a questionnaire about it next week. The good thing is that I can trial the questionnaire out with some parents from my daughters class tomorrow, now that their blog is up and running. It will be interesting to see if the questions need modifying or whether they give me the kind of information I am looking for.
I love the way I can collaborate with different classrooms. I got an email this week from a parent whose son’s class has a class blog in Queenstown. She gave me some really valuable feedback about the usefulness of the blog for her, including comments like the saving of paper, when you can access all the information online - a great spinoff for the planet.
