Thing 3: Using a Blog in a Future Classroom

When it comes to using a blog in my future classroom, I believe the benefits are numerous. 

The Major Benefits

1.  Make Announcements

One benefit of using a blog would be to have students subscribe to my blog via an RSS feed, who could then receive updates or announcements via the blog.  Students would be able to communicate on the blog, as well. 

2.  Review Lessons

Another benefit would be to post lesson reviews for students to use, which would help those who may have been absent to make up their work, and those who may have fallen behind in their work.  Lesson reviews would provide a nice summary for students.

3.  Link Interesting Material

I could post links to essays, articles, videos, etc. on the blog, making it available at all times to my students.

4.  Teaches Technology Use

Using a blog for a class also helps teach students how to better use technology in finding information which shall further their education, broaden their knowledge, and sharpen their skills. 

A blog makes class material more accessible at all times for my students.  It allows them to interact and engage with material through comments and questions on the material presented.
