I would like to use a blog in my future classroom to keep in contact with the parents of my students. I can post on there what we do each day in class. That way if a student misses part or all of the day, they can know what we did. I could also post photos of the students (with their parents permission) doing some activities. I could also link parents and students to websites for study tools (interactive games) for whatever lessons we are going over in the classroom. Maybe have a featured student of the week or something like that. I can use the blog as a paperless classroom newsletter as well.
I could also have a separate blog where I can interact with other teachers. I can post about experiences with different activities and lessons. I could use it as a place to reflect on things. I can share my ideas and other ideas that I have been brought to my attention.
I may also use a blog in my future classroom to communicate with parents and let them know what their children are doing in school. I think it's great to have study tools for students to use on your blog. I also think it's a great idea to post about different activities and lessons that you used that you can share with other teachers.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of using this blog to keep contact with your students parents. I hadn't thought that deep. I just thought of student to teacher communication with this blog. But using this between parents and teachers is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I like the paperless newsletters for the class. Good way to go green!
