In the Classroom, Web Logs Are the New Bulletin Boards

Marisa L. Dudiak's second grade class in Federick County, Md used the blog to discuss what the students learned while on a field trip. The blog allowed them to interact with their peers more quickly than writing in a journal. Blogs are becoming more popular with teachers because they take less effort to maintain than other types of web based sites.http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C04E5D7113FF93AA2575BC0A9629C8B63
