Blogs can be used in various ways throughout the education process and in the actual teaching field. For educational purposes they can be used to: track learning experiences throughout the education process, effectively communicate information between professors and an entire class of students instantly, and there could also be specific assignment blogs so students could help each other. Blogs are also efficient, they are like having a teachers manual you do not have to carry around with you. Blogs are accessible, you can access them on any computer or phone with just an internet connection. Another advantage to a blog is you cannot lose it.
For classroom purposes blogs can be used to: connect the teacher with the students parents (especially for elementary teachers), class blogs, assignment blogs, and give the students a voice in their education process. Teachers can also use blogs to communicate with each other, by school, by subject, or by grade-level. Blogs are extremely efficient and easy to make, and I am looking forward to using them.
I agree, blogs provide a great opportunity to connect with students, parents, and even other teachers. As a teacher, you can learn a lot through communication and, as you stated, blogs are easily accessible and efficient.
