1. A class blog is the perfect way for a teacher to communicate course expectations to students. A teacher can include links to the syllabus, daily or weekly assignments, class projects, group projects, and a calendar that shows when everything is due, as well as test dates.
2. It is also a great way for a teacher to compile relevant information and resources for students. For example, as a social studies teacher, I think it would be really helpful to include links to official government pages (White House, Congress, State of Utah) historical organizations and foundations (Jamestown, Monticello, Mt. Vernon, This is the Place) and other blogs or websites with pertinent information.
3. It can be a way for students to collaborate with each other by sharing ideas and information.
4. It can have a current events section, with headlines and other information updated daily.
5. It can be a tool for parents to be made aware of what is going on in the classroom and to be able to follow their child's progress.
6. A teacher can include a section for announcements, like public events, festivals, and other relevant things happening in the community, and offer extra credit for attending these events.
