Blogging offers several opportunities for me to help my students in my classroom. For one, navigating the blog is simple, easy, and gives me a way to help students from my own and their own homes. Because blog entries are dated and organized so clearly, students will have no problem finding a particular resource to reinforce skills they need for homework or projects.
Students can also reply to blog entries with comments, forwarding any concerns or questions without encroaching on my time or space away from school. I can respond to students' needs as they come up.
Additionally, I can direct students toward other resources to help them, either for extra practice or remediation through videos online, worksheets, articles, and so forth. I have many students who are always asking me for more articles, stories, and poems to read; using a blog enables me to provide new materials to all students, while saving paper, streamlining the communication process as it is all available in one place.
