I registered my blog and am continuing my journey through the 23 things. The Edublog list is full of great ideas and I will keep this list for future reference.
I like the idea of students having weblogs and responding to literacy assignments or writing prompts. This gives them the opportunity to be creative, improve their technological skills, and take responsibility for their work in a different way. By creating this portfolio, their parents would also have immediate access to their work and hopefully be more involved in their learning. There are endless possibilities to what the students could do with a weblog, I would have to choose carefully due to time constraints.
I would definitely use a blog for communication with parents and students. Class schedules, assignments, activities, photos, work examples, etc. could all be part of the blog. I would also create a newsletter based off the blog information to be sent home, not everyone has internet access.
I enjoy hearing what other teachers are doing, so it would be great to create a blog chronicling my first year of teaching and getting input from other teachers.
