Blogging

Recently we've been learning about blogging. This is a very useful idea. Through a blog, you can share your thoughts and ideas with other people on the web. You can post pictures and even applications, such as powerpoint, on a blog. Blogs can be content specific, so people that have an interest in what you are writing about can follow your blog and learn from what you have to say.
As a future educator, I think that this could be useful for the classroom. Since nearly everything is on the internet and nearly everyone has access to the internet nowadays, you could post updates on what is going on in your classroom. You could make the blog available to parents so that they could follow along with what their child is learning about. Posting pictures of student's work and writing down comments about what was accomplished will help parents stay up to date on their child's progress.
