Thing #3: Why blog?
A blog is a great way to quickly get information across. I can easily see me using blogs as an educator in many ways. In the classroom, I could give the link to parents at the beginning of the school year so that they would be able to follow along and I could inform them of different activities and assignments we've been working on. This would allow parents to feel more involved in their students learning between conferences. It would also help keep parents knowledgeable on upcoming important dates and assignments. For that reason, students could benefit from the blog as well. They could check on it periodically to keep updated on assignments to come. Also, a blog could be used to interact and share activities and tips with other educators. This is something I see myself very likely using a blog for. There are so many great ideas out there for education and I do not plan to miss out on them. This is another way to constantly grow as an educator.

I like the idea of using a blog to communicate with students and parents about what is going on inside the classroom. I definitely think it could be a very useful tool as long as it is not the only tool because not everyone has internet access. I also agree that it would be a great way to communicate with other educators. And how wonderful that you can see yourself using the blog beyond just our class.
