Blog Assignment 8

For this blog assignment we were asked to describe how we would use our blogging skills in your classroom. While I'm not much of a blogger, I think the biggest and best way a blog would be extremely useful is if it were used as a place for students and their parents to check daily, weekly, monthly, etc. Instead of using a weekly or biweekly newsletter, I could use a blog to post updates on what is going on in the class. The information could contain projects the students are working, concepts and lessons they are learning, and even provide tools (such as learning interactive games, practice problems, sheets, concepts, etc) the students could use at home to improve math skills or reading skills. Ultimately, it can serve as an avenue of communication between myself and the parents on what is going on in the classroom.
