I would use blogs to communicate with parents schedules of topics being covered, major projects, provide tools for parents to enhance student learning at home and opportunities to volunteer within the classroom.
Blogs would be a great tool used to inform students of things to take place in the classroom during the school year, which include: assignments, major projects, etc. I also see blogs as a means to facilitate a classroom book-club and to showcase student achievement, lastly, to communicate and share ideas with other classes outside of our region.
I like how you geared your blog ideas towards parents and students. Giving you a more rounded idea and classroom. It can be a great tool for students and parents as long as you keep up with everything important and not forget to put an assignment or a test review or achievement.
