In my search for classroom blogs, I came across Mr. Mansour's Classroom Blog. Mr. Mansour teaches math and science to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders at Jesuit Middle School of Omaha. The classes have a website with a link to the class blog. Mr. Mansour, students, and their parents can post messages and keep up with class notes and progress. There is even a survey for parents and links to cool scientific websites where everyone can watch or take part in different experiments. Mr. Mansour has created a fun, informative, innovative way of improving his classroom and communication with parents and the public.
Another great blog is Mrs. Cobb's Leaping Into 5th Grade Blog. Mrs. Cobb teaches 5th grade at Landis Elementary School in Logansport, Indiana. Mrs. Cobb has each student post to the blog on certain days. The information is then available for viewing and commenting by students and parents, as well as anyone else. It is really interesting to see how proficiently a fifth grader can use the computer. There is also a link to the class website, which is unbelievable!! Most class work and all other projects are posted for for everyone to see. Both of these teachers put alot of time and energy into their classes and it shows when you see the blogs and websites.

I enjoyed your post about my blog. I'll add your blog to my blogroll. Also, I'd encourage you to check out Edutech, a site I created for teachers in training about using technology in the classroom. Good luck in your class.
