Classroom Blogs

URL Web Address: http://classofambrose.blogspot.com

Title of blog site: Class of Ambrose

General Topics: There were many topics covered on this blog. The blog showcased articles on how teachers can keep a classroom calendar, and the importance of pictures in their classrooms; It also offered math helps for children, and had tips on how to conduct spelling reviews. The site has an abundance of information to better connect parents, teachers, and the students. The main focus in my opinion was to prepare teachers with the skills they need to be competitive in the 21st Century. It also serves the purpose of allowing the students to post blogs as well!

What I liked/disliked? I really enjoyed viewing this blog. I appreciate the fact that many classroom teachers are trying to improve parent communication by keeping them updated on the latest news at their school and class community. I love the fact that parents can participate in a live conversation through comments with teachers. I did feel like there was too much information, and that parents might not be able to read everything that is posted on the blog. Too many resources can hinder a blog site, and viewers may miss important information.
Would I recommend this blog site: I would absolutely recommend this site to not only educators, but also parents.


Mrs. Frandsen's Class

General topics: General topics on this blog were mostly about upcoming events in Mrs. Frandsen's class. This blog included topics and calender events such as upcoming test and quizzes, homework assignments, and general information about what was going on in their class. It did not however, have blogs regarding teacher enrichment or development. The primary purpose of this blog site is to keep the teacher and parent communication lines open.

What I like/dislike about the blog site: Mrs. Frandsen's class blog was colorful, and full of pictures. It included a lot of information, but not too much for readers to be overwhelmed! I don't believe the teacher is a frequent user of the blog, because it was in need of serious updating.

Would I recommend this blog site: I probably would not recommend this blog site. It really wasn't interesting at all. It also seemed neglected. If someone kept up with postings a bit more, it would be a pretty good site.
