Blog usage in MY classroom

This is to address the learning activity about using blogs in my classroom.

My ultimate place to be in 3 years is teaching preps or year 1's, so please take that into consideration when reading this.

My class blog would be set up by me with my students contributing to a class endeavour rather then individual blogs which for this age group would be more time consuming then helpful or engaging for a number of students. On this I would post a sampling of students work, (going through out the term, would include all children over time - possibly using a pick it out of a hat strategy for fairness). With parents and the schools permission I may even post learning stories (visuals) so that parents would be able to see the processes that their children have gone through to learn new things.
This blog would have to be set to private with only the parents of these children following it, it would need monitoring and recording of who was actually accessing the posts.

Children would be asked daily or weekly what they consider to be important enough to post to the blog, and would take turns in actually blogging it.

Anyone out there think the process could work?

Who knows!
