The author of this website writes about an English teacher from Ontario. In her seventh grade classroom, she uses the blog as an extension of school. She use questions as prompts to get the students discussing book content or a certain subject. The English teachers also discusses the benefits the blogger creates for students that are shy or weaker readers. It creates a lever playing ground for every student. Among many of the benefits, another one that she listed was the fact that she could log in whenever and read the listings. Whereas, in the past, she would not have heard everything the students discussed, nor would she have remembered it as well.

This picture is of two teachers from John Eliot School that began blogging last school year. In reading this article, you find how more interactive the blog makes the teacher-parent relationship. From these teachers experience, they say that the more you can inform the parents of what is going on in the classroom, the more they understand where you are coming from. In addition, the parents are less upset with the decisions the teachers make. They originally began blogging to try and connect with parents who maintain a busy schedule. The teachers also used the blogger to notify parents when their children struggled with certain problems in math that day. Overall, the blog has been effective for these teachers in many ways and they are continuing to use it.
