This month's Blog of the Month recipient, Business and Marketing teacher Jana Hoover of BHS, uses a mix of mulit-media to showcase not only final student products, but the entire process of planning and running a business. Students created their own business, worked out financial plans, marketing, and more. Mrs. Hoover also uploaded audio files of the students' presentations so that visitors can follow a groups' progress from initial concept to final product. This is a MUST SEE blog site...be prepared to be inspired when you visit Jana's blog...

What the heck is a BLOG? A blog (derived from the words Web Log) is an online journaling environment that allows for interactivity between reader and writer through the use of a commenting feature.

Blogging is currently the rage online, and has found many practical uses in the educational environment. Blogs can be used to leave messages for students and parents, upload pictures of class trips or group projects, give extra credit assignments, leave podcasts for your students to listen to...and much more.
