Thing # 3 - Blog Uses

Ultimately, I am very excited about expanding my blogging experience. As I stated in my earlier post, I am looking forward to the ability to express myself and log memories from within the classroom as they unfold. I feel that blogging about my different encounters as a teacher will be a very useful tool for me to reflect back on, with hopes to provide a better learning experience for my future students. Reflection is so important for growth, and what better way to reflect, than to document accounts of my struggles and ideas.

Another way that the blog may be useful is by being accessible to other teachers as a support system. As a future educator, I plan to collaborate with my colleagues, in order to contribute ideas, provide support, and share student accomplishments. By doing this, I hope to create the most conducive learning environment possible. By making the blog available to parents, I could give more insight to the happenings and progress of classroom learning and the scheduled curriculum. An open line of contact through the blog will allow parents to leave feedback and express their concerns or clear up misunderstandings about classroom objectives or assignments. By encouraging parents to be open-minded about a classroom blog, the amount of parental involvement with their child's education might increase. In any case, a blog will be a wonderful way to document experiences for later review and reflection.
