Blogging is another example of meeting students in their digital worlds, utilizing the technological skills they are already using in their personal lives, and also allowing them to continue dialogue about learning outside of the classroom. Second grade teacher Mr. Clint Tidwell, has one blog on his website that provides information more effectively to his parents, and allows them to post comments and questions. He has also setup a blog section for his students called the “Camp Fire Connection” where students can gather around the virtual campsite and share their ideas.
