Thing #3

I have never thought about using a blog in my profession. I did not even have a blog until I studied abroad in Sweden, and even then I did not use it.  Pen and paper has always been the option I have chosen. Now that blogging influences my success to becoming an educator, I am beginning to see the benefits it would bring to my future classroom. I could use the blog to record my successes and failures of my lesson plans. For example, “this project only took twenty minutes not thirty” and “the children really enjoyed this particular activity”. It would behave as a resource for future lessons.  I could also use the blog as a resource for the parents. By posting unit and lesson plans, parents would be able to track their child’s learning. I could also post games and activities that the child might enjoy doing at home. This would allow the child to practice without necessarily making it mandatory. A blog would be a great asset to my future classroom.
