Thing #3
Just to be honest as of right now I am not a hundred percent sure how I would use blogs personally in the future, but I will say I can see how reading other professionals' or students' blogs about their experience or ideas that they might have could come in very useful. After reading some of the ideas online, one of the ideas I liked was keeping a log of training experiences. This would be helpful to reflect experiences and how I benefited from them and things I need to learn. I like the idea of using blogs in the classroom either for calendars of events, reading and writing prompts, book clubs, or newsletters. I suppose the options are really endless on what could be done. After having more experience with blogging maybe some will open up that I may have never thought about.

Blogs can be useful in your classroom to communicate with students, parents, and other teachers. By having an open forum where all these people can interact together (through comments and such) your classroom will most likely run smoother, as well as have open lines of communication.
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree partially agree with nspradlin about a blog being useful in the classroom to communicate with students, I do not think that the students would go to the blog often to comment unless it was an assignment. I also believe that parents would find it difficult to find the time to read and comment on their child's classroom blog, particularly if they have more than one child. I speak from experience regarding this matter. I have 3 children and it is difficult to keep up with all of their activities and my own, so I couldn't imagine having to keep up with a classroom blog for each of them. I do recieve reports through the email about them. This to me is more time manageable. However, I guess I could be wrong. I do think that a blog is an excellent way to keep abreast of things with your fellow teachers.
