Thing #3

There are countless ways I could use a blog inside my future classroom. The first would be to use it as a communication tool with parents. Many parents are on the go and very computer savvy themselves and this would be an awesome way to communicate classroom activities and could be personalized to each student. I read over the Edublog Insights and many other ideas popped to mind. I have already thought about starting my own blog to record my thoughts and feelings as a graduate student. This would prove beneficial as a new teacher to reflect on teaching experiences, what went well and what I could do better in the future. Blogs can prove to be especially useful with high school students to relay important project information, as well as, future classroom assignments. I had no idea that there were so many valuable ways to use a blog within an educational setting. My mind is blown!
