Writing with Technology Part 2
Blogging can be used in so many different ways. Teachers can use blogs to post classroom news, have mirror blogs (for reflection), showcase blogs, or literature response blogs. In my blog I am going to try to incorporate all areas of blogging so that students can reflect, respond, see their own work, and get news all in one place. Blogging is beneficial to parents, students, and teachers because we can all see the work and writing in one place. It is easy to access and fun to use at the same time.

I like the idea of using one blog for all purposes of blogging. My initial thought was to have a blog for parents communicating class information, reflections from articles, and showcasing student work. I planned to have a separate one for my students to use just to keep it better organized. However, I want the parents to see the children's work, so maybe I should put it all on one! All of these new tools are causing for such a change in the way I typically go about things - it's fun and exciting but a lot to think about!
