Blogging is definitely an experience you need to try once before deciding to use it in your classroom. I have been writing posts over the last few months and following other blogs on education. I have decided that I don't think I will use it in my classroom if I do teach in kindergarten as I would like. I am not sure that I really get how to use a blog. I like to follow other blogs and see what is out there for education, but I  am not comfortable with having one of my own. I am not sure what the benefits would be for children so young. I can see how it would be beneficial to help keep parents informed of things going on in my classroom and posting fun activities and such that we have done.  Some of the benefits of blogging are that it is easy to keep up with current events going on in education and to get ideas from other teachers on lesson plans, suggestions for behavioral management for the classroom and individuals, crafts, and ideas for policies and procedures for my classroom. It also had ideas for new teachers to survive the first year. One blog had information that helped me understand some of what is going on with the "No Child Left Behind" and other policies.
     Some of the negative aspects for blogging to me are that it is hard to find time to keep up with it as is really needed to have a successful blog page, It can be overwhelming trying to keep up with other pages that you are following as well. It definitely takes time and dedication to have a good blog page. I would need to have more time to research and find ways to implement a blog page in my classroom. It would also require me to have more technology in my classroom than most kindergarten classes in my small community have access to. I would have to get permission from the superintendent to do one in my classroom and permission from parents if I am going to post pictures or names of the students. I am not sure it would be worth the time and effort it takes to set up and maintain a blog. It has been an interesting project to do this over the past few months, but not one that I would really continue.
