I think that blogging can be a very useful thing. As a teacher, it can be used to get advice from fellow teachers and to tell them things that work for you in the classroom. You can also use it to keep in touch with the parents of your students. You can help them know how their children are doing in school and when different assignments are due and things like that. When I looked at the examples, one of them had a teacher who had blogs talking about the different assignments for her students and I think that can be very useful, especially when students get sick or something.
As an undergrad, I think that it's a very good idea to look at other teacher's blogs because I'm still learning how to teach. By looking at their blogs, I can come up with new ideas of how to teach materials and I can become motivated. Sometimes teaching can be discouraging, but by looking at other people's blogs, I think you can get lots of positive feedback.

When you mentioned teachers posting assignments, that reminded me about how my little brother never did his homework and always told my mom he didn't have any. If his teacher would have had a blog, this would have made it easy for my mom to see what he needed to do. Good idea!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of posting info about assignments! A lot of parents are confused with instructions so I think that is a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteI agree that posting assignments will be helpful when children are sick. I remember in my practicum, there were generally a couple children missing a day. This would definitely make things more proficient!
