As a future teacher, the blogs I could see myself most interested in would be blogs of my peers. Reading other teacher's blogs could help me get ideas of things to try in the classroom. Since that's what I would find interesting and helpful, that's probably what I would blog about also. Blogging is a good way to share teaching and learning experiences. I could learn what works and what does not work for students in the classroom. I could learn about or share review games, group projects and many other things that students could enjoy and be beneficial to them at the same time.
Since I plan on teaching younger elementary school children, they probably would not be able to keep up with their own blog. It could be a good way however to keep in touch with the parents of my students. I could post what we are learning or activities for the week so they can help their child stay on track, or ask me any questions or concerns they may have. Blogging could be a good way of communication along with sending letters home and email.
I think parents can take a lot from a teacher's blog posts. I am hoping that in the future, teachers will look to blogs as an effective way to communicate with parents and students. I am happy you are planning on using this in your classroom. :)
