Thing #3 - write about ways that you might use a blog in your teacher education program or your future classroom. For some ideas, click on over to Edublog Insights by Anne Davis.
I am studying to be a high school math teacher. I intend for my blog to be a place where I can reflect on my own teaching experience. I could give blog readers an insight into what life is like for a high school math teacher. I love philosophy, so, I could insert my ideas on math in philosophy.
My blog could be used to assist students by giving them step-by-step instruction for reference for mathematical concepts or formulas. I could attach links to interactive math websites for homework help. But, I must keep in mind, not all students have access to computers at home. So, I would not be able to use my blog to post homework assignments, or require the use of my blog for class work. I believe it is important for teachers to understand that technology is a wonderful tool, but it cannot be used for requirements unless every student has equal access.

I think that blogging is a wonderful way to keep up with what your students are doing. With the availability of computers at school and at the library, students might be able to do this even without a home computer. Having students set up blogs of their own, similar to what we are doing would be a great way to incorporate a little IT into the classroom.
