How will I use blogs as a resource with parents? Will I create a blog and upload documents used in class? Will I upload rubrics so parents can view them when students are not forthcoming with information? How would a blog empower me to be a better communicator with parents? How would a blog empower parents to be more active in their students’ work? How will I manage the actual postings? Is there some way I could build time into the schedule and have students take ownership of the task? Hmm… I have a lot of questions about using a blog to increase my parent communication.

Sounds like a wiki is a good solution to your questions. Although, I do think a blog would also work, depending on the content. For sharing documents, a wiki is better. For discussion, debate and conversation, blogs are terrific. Like I said in my comment to Cathy’s post above, I think it is an idea that intrigues me. What a great way to model life-long learning if you could structure something that would allow adults to learn along side middle school students. Hmmm….just think about that….the power of the web….age need not matter!
