I have always been curious about the "blogging experience", as I regularly read and look for teacher blogs. I started an Instagram account to document the different teaching and classroom ideas I use from year to year. With the Instagram, I went back and forth about doing a blog to go along with my posts, however, I never found the time to do so.
As a result of taking this course, I had the opportunity to make time to blog and record my own ideas, thoughts, and reflections to educational news and strategies. At the beginning, it seems like a lot to keep up with, but as I continued, i enjoyed taking the time to write and reflect!
Similar to the reasons I did not blog before this class, I do believe that it may be challenging to keep up with it in the future - strictly due to a lack of time. Although, I think that if I find additional time in my schedule, blogging would definitely be something that I could get back into. It also helps that my blog is already up and running!
I think that blogging could be very beneficial in a classroom environment. It could be used as a reflective piece for students to free write and reflect about topics in their day-to-day lives or educational topics. I think it would provide another method for responding and publishing work. My concern would be that third graders may be a little too young to incorporate blogging into a classroom routine. The platform is not as kid-friendly as other platforms. However, I think that as a Staff Developer and/or Administrator, blogging would be a great tool to reflect, react, and share many ideas!
