Thing 3
Writing a blog is a very innovative way to reach people no matter how close or far they are. People can connect with your thoughts, opinions, and stories as if they know you personally, whether they do or not. For teachers, a blog can help them reach students, parents, administrators, fellow educators, etc. They can put their thought out there on pressing educational issues, or just make it more personal about life stories and such.
I plan to use a blog in the future to help parents stay connected to what is going on in my classroom. This will be a great way for parents to see how hard we are working to learn! I can also post podcasts of my lectures, or even notes for students that may have missed class for whatever reason. My future blog will be a more education oriented blog instead of a personal, public journal.

Hi, John! If I remember correctly, you are wanting to teach within the high school grade level. This will be an excellent way for you to stay connected with students and parents. I am wanting to teach 3rd grade mathematics, therefore it may be a little difficult for third graders to use a blog. I could quite possibly be wrong. Professor Wall does speak frequently of her six year old grandson navigating one with no problem!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that blogging is a great way to reach people and to stay connected. I enjoyed reading your blogs and look forward to more!
