Thing 3

Using a blog in my teacher education program is a great idea and there are many ways to do so.

• Write something i learned from another teacher that may be helpful to other future teachers.
• I can describe my training experiences.
• Provide teaching tips the I learn or come up with on my own for others to see. 
• I can just express general feelings or concerns about topics and recent events related to my program.
• It is a way to interact with my fellow students in my program. 
• It is a good way to interact with students and their parents on a daily basis.  
• I could post questions for parents to respond to. This makes the parent feel involved even if he or she cannot participate in in-school activities.  

The good thing about a blog is parents that want to get an opinion out about something in class and wants other parents to hear it too, can post a comment to a blog on that topic and others can join the discussion.

I am sure there are many more ideas for using a blog now and in my future classroom. Any ideas are welcome. Any comments and questions are welcome.
