Reflection
I think this site will prove useful in so many ways for us (as a classroom). The blog format vs. a website should help me post more often and with less stress, since I don't have to worry about all the information being on the page, whether the new content is accessible via the main page, manage links, etc. This blog should also be less imposing and scary for parents and students to use to get in touch with me in formats other than my email. It's also more modern, and user friendly then outdated websites are!
Classroom Blog
Hi all! First post here. I am excited about the potential this classroom blog will provide. Hopefully parents and students will find it a good resource to go to in helping solve confusion, anxiety, and frustration with our class content. I will use it to post links to useful sites that relate to current content taught in class and to post reminders for assessments and big projects! It should also be a good resource for me in future years so that I know what teaching strategies worked, what parents and students needed more help learning, etc.
