The first site that I explored for teachers using blogs in the U.S. was Mrs. Cathie English’s site for her eleventh and twelfth grade English classes at Aurora High School in Aurora, Nebraska. The name of her classroom blog is Room 104. One of Mrs. English’s focuses for her blog is to get parents involved with their children’s schoolwork. The students are asked to essentially hold on-line discussions about the literary work they have read through their blogs. Mrs. English has encouraged her parents to read the blog entries and leave comments. Mrs. English also has variety of links listed on her blog site to help students navigate to other student’s blogs, student writing, their class curriculum, blog instructions and also links to Mrs. English’s literary blog. Mrs. English’s site is extensive and is such a valuable resource for her students and parents.
