"With so many families online today, it makes sense to harness the Web as both a communications and instructional tool." (Hendron, 2008, p. 24)
The information and the speed at which it can be delivered, and the vast audience it is delivered to is amazing. As Hendron suggests, we must harness this resource. We as teachers and administartors have many groups to which we are accountable to. The weblog is a fantastic tool to publish information to students, teachers, community members, school board members, and parents.
