At its simplest a classroom blog can consist of a short paragraph describing something interesting that was done in the class during that week/2weeks/month. This in itself is a good way of communicating with parents and any interested parties. Text however can easily be enhanced with photos and videos of classroom activities. Podcasts, made by the children, can also be added.

At an international level a blog can be used for collaborating on a small project with another class from another country. Children can be assigned their own blog space. They can then type out short diary entries, interesting typing assignments, procedural writing work etc. thus helping with their literacy skills.
