Thing 3

As I am progressing through my college years in hopes of becoming an elementary school teacher, I will be learning lots and lots of tools that will be beneficial to me when I graduate with a teaching degree. Blogging is the most recent tool I have learned. This is a unique way to communicate with your students parents and share with them new events, due dates, projects, class community service, and so much more. Everyone has a pretty busy schedule, so blogging would give the parents a way to stay on top of things that might be going in their child's classroom. Blogging will also give them the opportunity to leave comments or questions. I remember when I was in elementary school and whenever field trip permission forms were passed I would always wait til the last minute to get an approval from my mom. Blogging would allow the teacher to post updates on what was sent home that needs to be returned and it will hold the student more accountable because his or her parent knows what he or she should be signing. I believe this is a great form of communication because the majority of people have computers and are on them at some point throughout the day.
