Mrs. Stewart's Classroom News Today I had the great honor to work with Priscilla Stewart. Priscilla is a teacher at Buckman Elementary in Portland, Oregon. She is new to using weblogs, but after just a few minutes you could tell she understood the power of being able to easily publish information about her classroom for her students and their families.
We are using Movable Type to publish her classroom blog. After playing around with the features we began to discuss the use of the blogging tool by her students. This lead us to create another blog for her students to post daily classroom updates. Using the RSS feed from this blog, we employed a JavaScript to capture the RSS feed from the student blog and have it feed into her main classroom page, so those visiting the site can see her classroom information, and also see the most recent postings from her students.
