Blogging in the classroom

I would like to teach 1st or 2nd grade. The only thing I think blogging would be good for at this age is learning with technology. I would have students keep a diary of what they learned that day, whats on their mind, what they plan on doing when they get out of school, etc. Today's society is all about technology between texting, email, social networking children are learning at younger ages how to use computers and work with technology. I think that setting up a classroom blog would be a neat idea for parents to keep up with the class, what their kids are doing and so on. I would have a link of each students blog on my main page so it would be easier to look at their child's post. I would like to set up an area that would show parents what the homework is that day and they would be able to comment with any questions they might have.

First Blog

I have always wanted to set up a blog and write about my life. However, I don't think I am creative enough or have that interesting of a life to keep anyone's attention. I am excited to start writing in this blog for class. Who knows, I might decide to eventually set up a personal blog.
