Blogs in the classroom

I can really see myself using Blogs in my classroom. Blogs can be used as a great communication tool and we all know that communication in the classroom is very important, both teacher-parent and teacher-student communication. In addition, blogs can be used creatively especially in a world language classroom. This would be a great opportunity to getting my students to 'Blog' in Spanish or share pictures of Spanish-speaking countries that they have traveled to or even discuss food or restaurants that they have tried etc... The important thing to do is make parents and students aware of the purpose of Blogging and set some rules so that it is used in a professional and educational manner. I can't wait to Blog in Spanish with my students!
