I think that teachers could use blogs to help their students learn more about them and what they will be experiencing throughout the school year. In the summer months, the teacher could create a blog for her students to read so that they could learn more about her, the adventures she went on over the summer, and what the students could expect during the course of the school year.She could write about her family, likes and dislikes, favorite hobbies, and encourage her future students to comment on what she wrote.
I have been keeping a written journal of my experiences at my PDS so that I can remember what happened in the classroom, how I approached it, or even just funny things that the students said. My journal is mostly just for myself and to keep memories, but a blog could be created for everyone else to read and comment on. I could write about my experiences or questions that I have and even ask for advice from other tutors. A blog could be used to help all of the tutors feel more connected and have a way to read about our similar or different experiences.
