WordPress can be used in K-12 education in three main ways: (1) as a site for a school to provide static content like staff pages and updates to parents, (2) as a repository for resources like homework, lesson plans, and links for students and teachers, and (3) to facilitate blended learning through student blogs, online discussions, and submitting work.
