Module 2: Assignment 1: How To Use Blogs in the Classroom

I found the blogs that I explored to be very interesting.  I do agree that it is difficult to imagine how I can use blogging as a teaching tool, especially since I teach first grade.  After viewing the blogs, I learned 5 ways that blogging can be used in the classroom.  They are as follows:

• Staying in touch with former students long after they leave your class
• Sharing images with parents about what's going on in the classroom
• Blogging with international students about cultures,etc.
• Having book clubs and blogging thoughts about what's being read
• A means of communication with parents
