I have gone on a blog searching spree and I have found so many great blogs that are similar to what I would love to do one day. Many of these creators use their blogs to show what they are doing in the classroom and showing student work. They share ideas on best teaching practices and ideas that have worked well in their own classrooms. The communicate back and forth with other teachers in the comment section to offer suggestions and sharing alternate ideas. This is something I would love to get into one day. I know this type of commitment takes a lot of time to prepare the photos and resources to put on my page so I think this is something I could do when I am finished with my master's course.
In my own classroom, I think blogs would be a little difficult to use with Kindergartners. I have already attempted this and it was much too time consuming considering my students start out not knowing all their letters and sounds. If I taught an upper grade level such as 2nd, I could definitely use blogs in my classroom. I could post problems or a topic and allow the students to discuss and share ideas on how to solve it or share information they found on the topic. This would be a great way to incorporate technology into a literacy block. Students would love this type of assignment because they are already so used to texting and communicating on the computer. This would also help get them prepared for work they will have to do in their future education.
Some great blogs I have found for professional sharing are: Chalk Talk
Kindergarten Crayons
A great site I found that you can use in your classroom and is safe for students is Kidblog
