I think using a blog as a teacher is a great idea. It is a good way for parents to connect with the teacher and classroom to stay involved in their child's education. I think keeping in touch with the parents is very important. Blogs give you so many options as to what you can put on them. With Blogger you can create a Bio, so the parents can learn about you and/ or what the class and year is going to be like.
As a student, I know I would like to see my teachers put notes and important things they tell us in class on a blog page. As a future teacher, I think it would be a great idea to create a blog for students to be able to read their assignments that are due, notes that were taken that day, and daily reminders. I feel like the students would have more of a personal connection with the teacher since students are so technologically oriented these days.
I think it would help students that need extra help as well. Let's say you have a high school student who needs extra help or is not able to write as fast as other students when taking notes. Having the notes on a blog that students can access will solve the problem of "I can't write fast enough" or "you talk too fast." Students now have another way to review for a test and get better grades. PowerPoints can now be accessed wherever the student is from any computer.
