Blogging in my Classroom

I plan on teaching in the lower grades, 1-3. If I were to have a blog for my classroom it would just be weekly updates. I would put the blog address on a paper that would go home, it would most likely be a locked blog that they would have to sign in to see.

I think it would also be a good idea for each of the kids to have a section of the classroom blog that is theirs, where they could put up pictures of what they have done or post about their work. When there was free time in the class the students could get on a computer and look at or write on the classroom blog. Potentially I could print out the blog pages of my classroom and make books for each of the students at the end of the year. I would only use blogs in my classroom as updates and recreational use, not for school work. My students would be too young for that.
