Blogger/Blogging is one of my favorite educational tools. This is a great way for me to communicate with my students and their parents. In return, they are able to communicate with me. If I’m not teaching or sleeping I am on-line. If my students or their parents ever have a concern or question, all they need to do is send me a post on my blog, and I will always respond as quickly as possible.
Blogging has opened the door to a lot of possibilities. We are now able to receive answers in a timely matter. One of the many positive things about blogging is, if a student or parent has a question such as, when is the next field trip, and they post that on my blog, I am able to respond and everyone is able to see the answer. I may have ten other people who wanted to know the answer to that question, but now they can save their time by reading and not asking. It is also a great way for me to answer any homework questions. If one of my students is ever struggling with anything, I want them to be able to ask me so I can help them get the right answer. I may have five students who are struggling with their science homework, and if one of them asks me a question on my blog, I am able to respond and everyone can read it.
There may be some concerns with this tool. Some parents may be concerned with the security of the tool. I can promise you blogging is safe and protected. No contact information is given out unless someone posts that. I will talk to my students and all of their parents about not doing this. I will only use this blog for academic and school related questions. I know this is a safe educational tool that will greatly help us!
