This blog was created as an assignment for a Technology in Education class. That being said it turned into more than just an assignment for me. Through education and research into other educators blogs and social media forms of sharing information I was able to see the real benefit that they have for educators such as myself. There are thousands of teachers all over the globe that share their ideas, activities, and thoughts about education and their students to everyone. It is a great connection to be able to read their ideas, comment with others, and have productive discussion with people that you normally would not be able to contact. I have been following several different Pinterest boards in the past that are dedicated to education but never really looked into blogs before. I see now that they are a great resource for not only to share with other educators but can be used as a teacher website to connect with students and teachers.
I already have a teaching portfolio online in my Weebly, but I know think that I would like to continue also using a blogging format once I begin teacher assisting or once I am a teacher. I could post my activities and thoughts to share with other educators to bounce ideas off of them. It can also serve as a journal of what my work is which can provide me with notes later to look back on what activities were successes and which could be altered. A blog would also be useful for students and parents. I saw several other blogs that gave reminders to students about upcoming assignments and projects. It also can serve as a newsletter for parents because it can show them what the classroom is doing so that they can be involved and also contact me. Blogs are very interactive and I love this aspect because I can make a cute and fun post and then have others comment to have discussion and build knowledge and experience together.
