Thing #3

Blogging as an educational tool would be extremely beneficial.  I like the idea of using it as a tool to communicate teaching ideas and strategies to other teachers.  I think it would come in handy to be able to see what works for other teachers as well as to gain creative ideas that I could employ in my classroom.  I also think using a blog in order to communicate with parents would be amazingly helpful.  It would benefit myself and the parents of my students to be able to use a blog to post homework assignments and answer any questions the parents might have.  Having a blog as an educational tool would also be beneficial because I could post examples of the work that have been done in the past so that my students would have a concrete example of what is expected of them right at their fingertips, any time they need it.
