week one post

We learned quite a bit about blogging this week. It was something that I was never really into but after seeing how easy it is to use and to access, the idea occurred to me that this would be a great way to keep parents updated about what was going on in the classroom. You could upload pictures of students doing different projects or doing different activities and then explain to parents what you did in class that week. This would also allow parents to make comments and give feedback about the activities you are doing in class. You could also post announcements and upcoming events.
Of course there will always be the challenge of those families that don't have computer or Internet access in the home but for those families you can send important information through the students or through the mail. This however would be easy to update and would give the students a chance to get class information through technological means.
