I believe that blogs can be an effective way to "unravel the mystery" of communication between teachers, students, parents, and other teachers and administrators. I think that integrating blogs into the classroom can turn the room into a learning community. It helps the students to take ownership of their learning and encourages them to make the connection between a concept and an idea. It also gives them access to a more global learning environment, opening up lines of communication to other students around the world, giving them new insights and ideas.
A blog can also bring parents into the classroom as well. It allows them to have a more active role in their child's education and opens up a line of communication between the parent and the teacher. It also allows the child's extended family to see what the child has been doing and learning in school.
Finally, a blog allows you to connect with your PLC (professional learning communities). It is a tool that allows for collaboration with fellow colleagues and helps to foster growth and development by sharing ideas, resources, and best practices.
