Blogs in the Classroom

At first, I was not too fond of using blogs or even looking at blogs because I thought they were "boring". But in fact, I was unaware that they are and can very  beneficial because as a teacher there are so many ways to communicate to children in a subject that is being taught. In Sue Waters' Check out Class blog, she uses her blogs to interact with the students from different grade levels on exercises that can be taught for a certain subject. I would like to us this blog because as a new coming teacher, it is very important that we have a general idea on what we want to teach the students, if what we are teaching will benefit them or will they be confused and not understand. Also, this blog is great because experienced teachers or new teachers can also go over and comment on how it can be improved and better our students.

Blogs can also be great for allowing the students to log in and work on some activites that I have posted. As a teacher, I can fomat it to where it is educating, fun and a great tool to where they can come back to and work on a subject they may not understand. There are a galore of activites that learn as incentives to the students.


It is very important to know that there are blogs that can be beneficial to the students, parents and teachers. I found some cool blogs such as Fun Activites, where there are many different activities that involve all different types of subjects like math, reading, social studies and arts and crafts that can be used in the classroom. Another great blog I encountered was how to have Classroom Management. This is a great blog because it gives an great outline on  how the students should follow guidelines and rules on how to help keep the classroom neat and organized. Classroom management doesn't necessarily have to be in classrooms, as parents, it can be an excellent method for home use too! And last but not least, vocabulary is a big part in education, and the best thing is that there are ways to teach them by using Vocabulary Activities. There are a bunch of interesting and educational blogs out there that anyone can use, hopefully one like mine will be one!
