Thing # 3

There are many different ways that a blog could be used as a tool by teachers with other teachers and with their students. A new teacher could start a blog to share problems and success stories with other new teachers. Or a teacher could post information they would like to share with all other teachers, such as a great new lesson plan that got all of their students involved. Using a blog in this way could really enhance the teaching and learning process for everyone because as soon as new ideas about what works in the classroom are discovered they can be shared with anyone who is interested. A blog could also be used by a teacher for their students to follow. A blog could have information for the students that has links that correspond with the lesson plan for that day. A blog can also be used to show students how to start a blog, and each week they could have an assignment of what to add to their blog and the teachers blog could have an example. There are many great ways to use a blog, and it is a tool that can enhance a child's learning experience in the classroom.
