Blogs are a great source of communication. I think it would be great to use blogging as a teacher. A class blog could help students to discuss homework and for the teacher to be able to see any questions that might arise. Also parents could have a post so that they could discuss any trouble they are having with their child as well as the teacher be able to add input into the conversation. Finding a group with similar interest or issues can be helpful so parents may feel more comfortable discussing the issues the see with the teacher if other parents could get involved. Also teachers could set up group assignment in which students could work together on the blog instead of in person. This could be a more convent way for some students to work and it will integrate technology into their assignment. I think that teachers need a release as well and a blog for teachers to comment and ask for other educators’ opinions and recommendations could be useful. This way you could get help from a teacher in New York, or china to help you as where otherwise you wouldn’t be able.
