Web 2.0 Educator

I read the blog entitled Science is Fun with the Right Teacher. I found that the author of the blog used the blog mostly as a place to post homework assignments or to post links to websites if the student wants to investigate a topic closer. When I'm a teacher I want to stay away from using a blog for just homework. If I make a blog for my students I want to make sure that I have a lot of fun things to do on the blog that pertain to math. The creator of the blog did use labels effectively and I found it easy to move around his blog and find what I was interested in. I really like how he posted pictures taken from class of students in lab. However, in this day and age I hope he got permission from the students to post their pictures on the internet. I liked some of the interactive sites he had linked in his blog and I found them informative and fun to look at. Overall I think he has a well organized blog but I think he could add more to it to make it more interesting.

PS please fix this typo: "if the student want to investigate"
