Thing #3

As I read over the EduBlog Insights, I realized there are many useful ways I could use a blog and incorporate it as an important educational tool. One of the best ways to utilize a blog is to use it as a window of communication. If a student becomes ill or has an emergency and cannot attend school, the teacher can use a blog to post assignments so the student won't fall behind. This is also an excellent tool to communicate with parents who are unable to attend conferences and wish to see lesson plans and understand the concepts of what their child is learning. Overall, I believe a blog can provide important communication outside of the classroom.
