Blogging as a Teacher

Hello!

The blog Free Technology for Teachers  is a very informative blog filled with so many amazing resources! The one that popped out to me was There's a Poem for That! We are learning about writing poetry for our writing fair and this post discusses the Ted Talk series "There's a Poem for That." I can't wait to use these ted Talks in my classroom.

I would love to create a blog like this! Its always amazing when a teacher shares all the resources that they have found and use in their classroom. I could see myself creating a blog for students that has information that they could use and reference over the content that we are teaching in class. I could see making a blog by standard that has resources for them to practice at home. I feel like a blog that was relevant to their learning would also help their parents. One of the most common questions I get asked is how they can help their child when they aren't sure how to do that math or reading concepts on their own. If you had a blog with resources for parents and students to use when doing homework or reviewing skills I think parent involvement would increase. Blogs are also such an easy way to present and organize information. I could see creating a class blog where students are actually they ones who create the posts about their learning for the week and post pictures and information about what they have done in the classroom and what they have learned and taken away from the day. I would really like to incorporate a class blog into my classroom in the future.
