The use of blogs in any aspect of education can be beneficial for all who are involved, and to those who are not as well. There are many creative, useful things that can be done in a classroom using a blog. One thing that I would use a blog for in my field would be to keep the parents updated on what is happening in the classroom. They could view projects and assignments that students are working on as well as contact me with questions or concerns. The parents would never have to wonder what their children are learning about or working on. The blog will lay everything out in an easy-to-use format for everyone.
As for my students, I would like to create a classroom blog where they can post their work and discuss assignments with other students. I think kids would enjoy creating a classroom blog together and designing it how they want to.
Personally, I feel like blogs would be the most beneficial for us teachers. We can search ideas that we may have and see if they have already been attempted. We can get feedback on things we have tried or want to try. Sharing ideas amongst our colleagues would help us all!
I like your idea of using a blog so students can post their work too. I would like to do that for my students as well.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is an awesome idea to allow students to blog and post their work. I believe it is also very beneficial to teachers because it allows us to borrow ideas from other teachers all around.
