Anyone on this site I agree with James Maxlow, in that "humans thrive through communication and connection to others". Schools are very dependent on electronic communication. Many parents prefer to keep in contact with the teacher through email and blogs. The use of a blog in the classroom is a good idea, as long as it is more professional then personal.
Teachers and parents have to make sure that personal and professional information when used together are used appropriately. If it is for a class, students, parents, and faculty, it should be positive and informative. It should only relate to the class assignments, personal information should be kept to a minimum. When making a blog, one has to remember who their audience is. Blogs were designed to express ideas and get a response from others about those ideas. Not everyone is going to agree or disagree.
I think that blogging is worth the risk as long as the blogger is willing to take responsibility of their actions. |
