What I Think About Using Blogs in the Classroom

I was hesitant at first about the idea of incorporating blogs into the classroom because I'm fearful at times relying on technology both inside and outside the classroom. Not everyone is computer saavy nor does every family own a computer--which is the only reason as to why I fear using blogs in my classroom. I agree that it's a wonderful way to communicate with parents, however, as I said before, you can't expect that every parent has access to a computer. Blogs do serve as a great tool of communication, however, so perhaps you could have both a blog and another way to communicate with your students and their parents. Overall I do think blogs are a very useful way to communicate, but I think relying solely on them as your line of communication with parents is not the best idea.
