Thing 3: Blogs and the Classroom

I never truly thought about using a blog as an aide in my classroom until I looked at the EduBlog Insights. A blog created by a teacher can be used in an infinite amount of ways. If I were to keep a blog as I continued my career in teaching, I would use it to monitor my progress and the students' progress in the classroom and to keep the parents involved in everything that is going on. I can express whether or not I felt a certain subject area was fully grasped, and I can state whether I feel we need to go back and review a certain topic. The blog could be used as an effective tool for me to communicate with parents about any concerns they may have and keep them involved in their child's educational journey! I definitely see myself having a classroom blog in the future!
