Schools and Teachers in the U.S. Using Blogs


In my search for a school are teacher using blogs in K-12th grade, I came across the Class blog for an AP Biology class at Appleton High School in Appleton, Wisconsin. The instructor, Elissa Hoffman, wanted her students to "become fluent in online learning and discussion". She and her students have posted articles, research, photos and videos. Ms. Hoffman invites anyone that has an area of expertise, research or a career associated with Biology, to share their thoughts with her students.

This next blog belongs to Marian County Day School, located in San Francisco, California. MCDS is an independent K-8th coed day school enrolling around 540 students on its 35 acre campus. The school's mission "asks children to become skilled learners and ethical human beings, motivated to make a difference in the world". This is one of the best, if not the best, blog I've seen in reference to a school. To say I was impressed in an "understatement". There is a stories section,you can also listen to African American Folk Tales told by students. You're sure to enjoy this school's blog.
