Blogging
I still don't feel like a blogging pro, but I am enjoying the experience. I can see advantages and disadvantages to using a classroom blog in my future teaching career. Having a blog would allow me to share the projects and activities my class participates in through regularly updated posts. Pictures and videos of their children would be available for parents to download onto their home computers. Most parents would be able to view these posts immediately after the event. However, the negative side of using a classroom blog is that not everyone will be able to view it. Some families may not have access to computers or internet.This would create a technological divide in the classroom.

I know how you feel about being a blogging pro. To be honest, I never wanted to create a blog and was kind of resentful when I had to create one for the INST 4010 class. However, I am beginning to understand the benefits of having one for now and when I become a teacher. There are many different ways I could use blogging in my future class. I like your ideas of making a class blog that would be available to the parents of your students.
