I think blogging would be a good way to communicate with some parents. I would definitely need to get better at it, and I'm not sure how many parents would view it. I use TouchMath a lot on my classroom, so I decided to put the TouchMath number line on my blog. It's a great visual for students and parents to use.
I like your idea of using touch math on your blog. It would be a great way to show parents what their students are learning at school. But I agree, you may have to educate the parents on looking at the blog frequently to make it beneficial for them and the students.
ReplyDeleteSome teachers are replacing their teacher websites with a blog instead. Our school webmaster can replace the link for you if that's something you'd be interested in doing. Do you think a blog would be easier to update than the school page or not? By the way, your blog looks great! I like the gadgets you chose to add. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Kelly!
ReplyDeleteWay to go on your blog! I am impressed. I really like the language thingy (I tried the Russian). Am going to add it to mine. It would be great if parents would use the tools available...
