American classrooms using blogs

Mr. Eric Langhorst teaches 8th grade American History at South Valley Junior High in Missouri. He uses his blog as a syllabus, listing items each day. He writes what was done in class and the homework assignment for the day. He also added helpful links such as class handouts, online textbook and chapter notes. He even incorporates pod casts into his teaching.

Mr. Roemer teaches the 5th grade in Florida. He uses his blog to communicate all the different aspects of his class with his students. He blogs about homework assignments, grading and his behavior policy in the classroom (his students make up this policy each year). His website is fun and geared towards those young 5th graders. His blog has a public and a private sector. It protects the students by allowing only registered users (parents and students) to view those private messages.
