Following are ideas for using a blog in my future classroom. Most of these ideas must be credited to Anne Davis on EduBlog Insights. I could keep a journal on a blog to review my experiences in the classrom as well as with other teachers and administration. Keeping track of my training experiences is another option. I could store descriptions of teaching units there and have the ability to come back and edit them if necessary. Discussions of what does and does not work for me in the classroom could be shared with other teachers, I could also suggest to other teachers ideas for teaching activities and language games that I have found useful.
A class blog might be helpful in sharing ideas with students. Information such as calendars, events, homework assignments, and recommended extra reading could be posted. I could post literature readings and ask students to interpret or analyze them on their own blog from time to time. I would like to try this one with the Romantic poets (Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, and Shelley). Vocabulary activities, math games or grammar games could be provided on th blog. You could share online readings on current affairs or any other topic for your students to read and respond to.
