I think that one of the most beneficial ways to use a blog in the classroom is for personal growth. I would use a blog as a type of personal journal. I would keep a daily log of my experiences in the classroom and with my students. I think it would be good to be able to look back and see how much I had grown and learned from my experiences as a new teacher.
I would also have a teacher/parent/student blog so that my students and their parents could follow their progress throughout the school year. I would love to be able to see parents interact and comment on the blog because it would show their involvement with their child's education.
Before this blog assignment, it had never occurred to me that a blog could be used or would be beneficial in a classroom. The more I thought about this question, the more I realized how easy it would be and how much it would help a teacher. A blog is also a fun way to get your students interested in what they are learning.
I didn't think about having a personal blog to record daily experiences of teaching, that's a really good idea! It would be extremely useful to be able to look back and see what struggles I dealt with in the beginning and how I worked through them.
