Using Blogs in my future classroom.

As I mentioned before, this semester is my first time to ever create a blog. After working on my blog for these past weeks, I've come to realize the many advantages of it. Blogs are just another means of communication. I could create blogs to keeps parents and students updated on school work, activities and events. I could also have students teach students how to create blogs of their own so they can create an online portfolio on the things we do in class just like how we in ED 480 are doing right now. I could also set up appointments with parents if they want to meet and talk about their child's progress. Another thing I could do is set up the blog so I can communicate with other theacher. I could share successful activities and lessons that I have done in my class and maybe they could share some with me as well. Blogs are fairly simple to use and I would gladly use them when I become a teacher.
