Throughout this semester, I have enjoyed blogging. I have liked writing my own blog and I have also liked having blog buddies. I think that it was beneficial to have 2 blog buddies because it gave me 2 specific people to collaborate with. I think the blog buddies was beneficial, rather than having to look at everyone in the class individual blog pages. I think the blog was helpful and it gave me a way to reflect and journal about the class. The blog was the main homework assignment that I enjoyed doing.
As a teacher I could see myself using a blog. Being a future Early Childhood/ Elementary Education teacher, I could see using a blog for the parents more so than the students. I would use it as a resource for the parents to stay up to date and see what we are doing in our class. A blog would be used similar to a newsletter. One benefit to a blog is that you can include pictures, videos, and songs where you cannot do that in a paper handout sent home. Also it would be a paperless form of communication and in the go green society this would be beneficial as well.
Blogging can be used in many different ways. For the parents or students depending on the age level or grade level. This would fit into the UDL approach because it would help teachers reach all their students and there learning needs. Teachers can use blogs in many different ways and it is a very valuable tool for a teacher.
