Thing # 3 Blog use in the Classroom

Before this year I would have been one who said I can not think of any use of a blog in the classroom.. But boy has that changed. Learning how to create a blog and make the post can be scary, but after getting started it really is not that bad. The only set back is if you have some parents that do not have a computer they may feel left out. As a teacher I will be able to post class art work. I will also be able to post the student of the week. Birthday with pictures if students. I will be able to have my students post to the blog about field trip that we have take  and what they have learned from the trip. It will give parents a chance to see what is going on in the class without have to spend time in my class. They will feel as though they are part of the class. This last thing is one of the most important items for me. When a parent starts sending their children to school they loose their name and take on the name of Samuel's dad, or Simeon's mom. I want to post picture of the parents with their first and last name. This way when the parents see each other in the parking lot, football games, PTA meeting, they can call each other by name. It may seem like a little thing but to me it is very important. You let me know by making a response to this post.
