I have successfully registered my blog. I know this because I have seen my name listed on the 23 Things website. I am doing the "cabbage patch" dance now in celebration!
I thought the EduBlog link was very informative on uses for a classroom blog. I liked the idea of having a blog to be a reflective practitioner. I liked the idea of having a forum where new and seasoned teachers could write about what worked in a classroom and what didn't. I think it would be neat to be able to share teacher "high" moments and be able to receive and give encouragement for teacher "low" moments. I think it would be a great place to ask for lesson enhancing suggestions. I am sure there are teacher blogs out there. I have never thought to look for them though.
For one's on classroom, I think the possibilities are endless. I definitely want to have a classroom blog in order to post assignments, upcoming due dates, power point presentations, helpful links, etc. It could be a place for students to ask each other questions as well as a place for the teacher to clarify information. I like the idea of establishing classroom community with each student posting something about themselves. I think it would be neat to have the students design their own blog site for the classroom if time permitted or have students vote on the blog design they liked the best. Videos could be posted of difficult lectures as a means for students to review information. In addition, videos of experiments could be posted for students to view if they happened to be absent.
I liked Elsa's idea about connecting with other classrooms via a blog. In science, many classrooms could perform the same experiment and then share/compare their data. I am getting excited about this idea right now!
May the Force Be With You, Leslie
