Thing #3 Blogging in Education

At first I was skeptical about blogging but now after doing some work on my own blog and seeing the blogs of others I see it being a great asset in education. Blogging could greatly benefit all teachers. I like how it allows communication among a group where you are free to learn and comment on others work. Teachers can share unit plans, activities and their own personal experiences. I think that blogs would benefit rookie teachers in a tremendous way since they would be able to read and get advice from more experienced teachers. Teachers could also use blogs to keep a running schedule of events. This would allow students and parents to keep up with what is going on without taking up much time in their busy lives. You could also put example problems of work for students to look at while away from the classroom. All of these ideas that I mentioned are ways in which I could use blogs in my classroom. The possibilities are endless.
