Teachers can now keep a blog (much like this one) where anyone can access it and read about what is happening in the classroom. Students can ask questions from homework that they may be unsure about. Parents can always be up to date and contact a teacher easily without having to physically come and meet with teachers at the school. The Internet and blogging also allows students to communicate with their peers around the world. They do not have to wait for the mail to deliver letters around the world, their email can be there within seconds or comments appear instantaneously.
The Internet is an amazing invention that has changed the way the world communicates. It is important that we teach students about other cultures and the globe so that they can increase their awareness of the world around them and become better citizens.
