Do you think you would use blogging in your future classroom? Why or why not?

    Before this ETPT class I have never even dealt with a blog. In high school we may have created an account but we never interacted with our fellow classmates the way we do now. I always thought they were a waste of time and no one would care about my blog. After this class I have a whole new prospective of blogs, and I would actually use them in my classroom. I would use them because I think they give students the ability to learn different technology skills and also I think they allow students to interact and learn things they might not already know about each other. 
     After watching the video "Why Let Our Students Blog" and reading the article "Objectives and Guidelines for Safe and Responsible Blogging" I think it is really important that students use a blog.  I think it is a very useful and effective social networking site, because it can be educational and informing for the other students. 
    For being an Early childhood teacher I can use this blog to interact with students and there parents and also we can use it as a form of communication if a parent has a problem. I can also use it as parents and students linking homework and they can send it through the blog if they are ready to turn something in that we don't do in class.

  1. I never thought of using a blog to communicate with parents. Great idea!

  2. I agree with the importance of blogging. I also agree with your views on how you could incorporate blogging. I also didn't think about blogging to talk to the parents.

  3. I have to disagree because I'd rather interact with my students in class and hear their voices rather than seeing what they typed.
