West World View

I have been using this blog in my class for a couple years. I use this forum more and more especially with the new ipads, etc. we are getting for the classroom. An example of how I use the blog is when I do a lesson describing my experience in Europe. Also, if any students are absent,they can read the blog. The students are expected to comment on the blog posts as well. After I describe my life in Germany/Europe,we discuss current events & other topics related to my class.
