Classroom Blogging

You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives. ~Clay P. Bedford

I am so excited to use blogging in my classroom!! I think that it is a great way to integrate real life learning into the students' lives. In my classroom, I plan to have a classroom blog that the students can post some of their best work for their parents to see. I also think that it would be fun to post pictures of the different projects that we have done together in class. It would be a great place for the children to really be able to express themselves, and for me to keep in contact with the parents. Of course, it is very important to have it be a safe experience for the students, so I would have to recieve permission to post any pictures of the students from their parents. It would also be a great place for the parents to ask questions, and to post links to great parent and student resources. It would also be a great place for the students to publish any stories that they have written, and for them to feel a greater sense of accomplishment. I think that blogging in a classroom brings a variety of opportunities to the students and their families.
