Finding ways to reach students in today's time is a tricky and hair pulling experience. Everyday has been such an eye opener and got my thoughts stirring. Being able to use blogs as a communicator to my students is a great tool. Having a place were they are always up to date on assignments or announcements is a powerful thing. I have not thought of using blogs in this way and it makes so much sense to do so. I see my classroom using this tool on a weekly basis for reminders of what has been learned during the week. Even classroom management of rules and procedures can benefit from using blogs. If I think I have forgotten something very important from a lesson plan I could just post a blog and the students can be instantly informed.
Parents will also have a place to go to find assignments or events. Communication with parents to me is very important and with every one's busy schedules blogging can come in handy. While reading over this weeks material to me this has been the one tool that I will use.
