Thing #3- Blogs in the Classroom

For your Thing #3 post, write about ways that you might use a blog in your teacher education program or your future classroom.

After time to play around and understand the features of my blog, I have begun thinging about how I can incorporate blogs into my future classrooms. Most people us blogs to reflect on various things. As a teacher I could post about my learning experiences (especially in the first few years,) and reflect on which methods and activities worked and which should be changed or tweaked. However, the main thing I would want to use a classroom blog for is as a Web Newsletter. Today most people have access to a computer, and like to have things posted on the internet so they can access it almost everywhere they go. An online Newsletter could help parents and guardians be more involved in the classroom because every week I can post upcoming events, assignments, projects, and other fun and important things. This will help parents keep up with the classroom, and the students can't lose the newsletters before they reach their parents. I really hope parenys will like the blog idea, and I hope it works out well for me so that I can use it most of my teaching career. I really do enjoy using my blog.
