Reading, writing and blogging

I noticed an article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch this weekend which discussed how blogs are being used in the classroom. The changes in technology continue to amaze me. I wonder what I would have though of being able to blog back when I was a young student?

From the article:

When Chelsea Pleasants wants to know what her daughter is doing in school, she heads to the Internet.

With a few clicks of a mouse, Pleasants can navigate the Web site for Goochland County's Byrd Elementary School and access the Web log kept by her daughter's third-grade teacher, Ellen Robinson.
...
"People love to know that they can go online and find out what's going on in the classroom," Hendron said. "It's something that can really change the dynamics of communication and give ready access to information parents and students need at home."
