What parents think?

Dr. BJ,
I found these websites and thought they related nicely to the topic at hand. One has a survey about what the parents think about blogging. It is a limited survey of only parents of children in this particular class but I still think it holds some relevance compared to the national ideal of class blogging. Bridges4Kids talks about linking parents to the classroom, extending the teaching day, and providing a good model of blogging for students. The next site, MyCapitalWeb.com tells of a teacher bring blogging into her class to build a of third grade students. One topic that has been presented was if the technology was in the home, but we have not talked about the speed of the Internet connection and how it relates to the use of blogs in the students homes. It is also apparent that more education of parents may help may blogging in the classroom more successful.
